Gen. Ed Barker was named the new boss of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2023\/03\/17\/what-is-deep-sensing-and-why-is-the-us-army-so-focused-on-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors<\/a>, or PEO IEW&amp;S, according to an April 24 announcement from the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barker has served as the office\u2019s deputy since July 2021. He will succeed Mark Kitz, who has held the job as the program executive officer since May 2021. The announcement made no mention of Kitz\u2019s next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The transition is expected to take place \u201csometime this summer,\u201d a PEO IEW&amp;S spokesperson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">told C4ISRNET<\/a> on Monday. An exact timeframe was not available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PEO IEW&amp;S helps develop, test and field a plethora of military equipment, including navigation packages, missile warning systems, biometric tools and electronic jammers. The office\u2019s reach is long, and its portfolio touches \u201ceverything from the sights on an Abrams tank\u201d to \u201cidentity access of somebody driving on the Redstone Arsenal,\u201d Barker said in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>This article may be updated.
