What others are saying: Maj Locke has the pulse of Science and Technology (S&T) applications for Space Enterprise Vision. He has devised or advanced 3 key innovations to benefit SEV resilience: 1) agile thruster technology, 2) Type 1 Crypto for small satellites and 3) non-Keplerian orbits for agile space mission design. He has an entrepreneurial spirit: he has started his own small businesses and can easily translate government strategies to small and then to large business strategic vision, enabling faster IRAD alignment with industry partners. Maj Locke can move the world using the leverage of the government S&T portfolio. --Dr. Roberta Ewart, SMC Chief Scientist Maj Locke is a hard charging, technically astute, and involved supervisor, who leads assessments of space experiments and prototypes feeding multiple AD efforts. Tim is a technical leader who is very engaged with industry partners and other government agencies to push technology forward to improve space capabilities for the warfighter. –Doug Brown, Chief, Technology Strategy Branch, (SMC/ADYT)
