Leadership

Mr. Martinez returned to the U.S. in 1981 to begin yet another adventure as the Integrated Combat Systems Test Facility, San Diego California computer systems Lab Engineer.  During this tenure he was able to attend National University where he received his B.S. degree in computer science.

In 1984, he returned to the Naval Ordnance Systems Support Office, Pacific (NOSSOPAC,  later to be known as NAVSEACENPAC, and RSG) Here, Mr. Martinez became the Pacific Fleet Modernization Program Manager supporting the FMP Program Office at NAVSEA and was the principal leader of large navy platforms as Coordinator of the Combat Systems Readiness Test Program.

In 1987, Mr. Martinez was selected the Master Ordnance Repair (MOR) program manager for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme, California. Recognizing that a number of surface ships with complex combat systems would be overhauled and repaired by private shipyards, NAVSEA initiated the MOR program. The purpose was to expand the private sector industrial base by identifying and qualifying private businesses, in advance, to be technically capable to manage combat system production work and to supervise combat systems shipyard level testing. Until its’ demise, in 1997, this program had qualified and monitored 9 private shipyards and 15 private business enterprises and was the primary factor of improving the quality of naval ship combat system availabilities in the private sector.

In 1997, Mr. Martinez was next selected to be the LPD-17 Deputy Program Manager’s Representative (DPMR) for NAVSEA PMS 317. Mr. Martinez corroborated Raytheon’s efforts with NAVSEA for system design, systems integration, hardware and software development, design integration testing.
