Chad W. Jennings PhD, President – Lightening Ridge Technologies, Seattle, WA

Dr. Chad Jennings has been involved with MMC personnel on a number of aerospace projects related to the development of Enhanced and Synthetic Vision Systems (EVS, SVS).  In 2000, Chad co-founded Nav3D, a San Carlos, California based company that pioneered many of the aspects of SVS in conjunction with teams from Boeing, BAE Systems and NASA including EVS, SVS and Highway-in-the-Sky (HITS).  Their early work in developing “wireframe” imagery for presentation on a HUD is well known and still in use today.

In 2006, Nav3D was sold to Mercury Computer Systems where Chad headed up business development for the SVS activities.  He led the Mercury team working with BAE Systems in Australia and Ontario, California to develop an SVS-based solution for helicopter brown-out scenarios.  He was a key player in the sale of Mercury's SVS division to Honeywell in 2008.  He also led the development of the SVS/EVS integration for the company’s Class 2 EFB called VistaNav (now AV8OR Vision3D from Honeywell).

Dr. Jennings graduated in 2003 with a PhD in Aero/Astro from Stanford University where he developed software for the world’s first SVS display of airborne traffic. He was the recipient of the RTCA’s 2005 Jackson Award for outstanding thesis on aviation electronics and telecommunications.  He is the author of one patent and over 20 technical papers on EVS and SVS.
