Lockheed Martin named Moorestown, NJ, resident Patrick "Andy" Muckelbauer a Lockheed Martin Fellow. The distinction honors technologists who demonstrate technical excellence, support the achievement of business objectives, mentor colleagues, improve within their discipline and earn the respect of their technical peers.

Muckelbauer, principal member of the engineering staff at the Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL) in Cherry Hill, received the honor in recognition of a 19-year career of exceptional academic and technical achievement, invention and leadership. While at ATL for seven of those years, he has influenced development of advanced technologies in distributed information assurance, contributing both to the nation's most important national defense initiatives and to the worldwide applied-research community.

"Andy has the phenomenal capacity to consistently solve the unsolvable, despite formidable competition and nearly impossible technical odds," said Julius M. Etzl, director, ATL's Advanced Concepts Laboratory.

Muckelbauer has coached and mentored engineers, been widely published and has received nearly two-dozen performance awards, including a 2006 Lockheed Martin NOVA Award. The NOVA is the Corporation's highest distinction and is given annually to about one-half of one percent of Lockheed Martin's 140,000 employees.

Muckelbauer holds a bachelor's degree in computer science and mathematics from Lake Superior State College and a doctorate in computer science from Purdue University.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products, and services.
