Dr. Lindsay Millard joined the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) as the Principal Director for Space in September 2020. In this role, Dr. Millard is responsible for leading the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) research and engineering efforts needed to assure our space capabilities and maintain our competitive advantage in the space domain.

Prior to joining OUSD(R&E), Dr. Millard served as a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in the Tactical Technical Office where her focus was to enable big capabilities on small satellites. Drawing from her strong technical expertise in satellite systems engineering, remote sensing, sparse-aperture telescopes, astrodynamics, and guidance, navigation, and control (GNC), Dr. Millard successfully turned developmental programs into real capabilities for the United States and demonstrated the potential of rapid space system acquisition by leading a program that took 18 months from contract award to satellite launch.
