/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.
has named Rich Auerbach as director of antenna and video
technologies. He will spearhead the company's development and
production activities for advanced antennas, RF communication
subsystems and specialty cameras. Ball Aerospace technology is
deployed on a wide variety of platforms -- aircraft, spacecraft,

Jeff Osterkamp, who has accepted the position of vice president of
program management for the company. "Rich Auerbach is a seasoned
aerospace leader, with a wealth of experience in radar
technologies," said Mike Cerneck, vice president of defense

development, integration and test of the multi-mode radar employing
low observable and low probability of intercept techniques. Most
recently, he managed the B-2 Radar Modernization Program,
developing an active electronically scanned antenna to be
integrated into the legacy B-2 radar. He has additional experience
in advanced RF concept development, radar signal processing
techniques and precision GPS navigation. Other professional
assignments include development work in navigation systems at
Rockwell Collins and the U.S. Air Force. Auerbach holds a
