TRANSFORMING DEFENSE & TECHNOLOGY: WHERE INNOVATION MEETS EXECUTION
Greetings! I’m Dr. Shane Turner – where complex military challenges meet innovative solutions.
As Vice President of Multi-Domain Test & Evaluation at Astrion, I transform how defense technology is developed, tested, and deployed. My 20+ years at the intersection of military operations and cutting-edge technology has taught me one crucial lesson: exceptional leadership turns ambitious visions into operational reality.
My Professional Journey
Picture this: a 700+ person workforce, spanning the western United States, executing an $890M+ Department of Defense contract. That’s the scale of challenges I thrive on. My teams have consistently delivered mission-critical solutions while maintaining a remarkable 3-year zero-incident safety record.
My expertise bridges electronic warfare, defense systems integration, and emerging technologies—all backed by my Doctorate in Business Administration. I don’t just manage projects; I orchestrate transformations:
- Securing strategic assets like the Electronic Warfare Complex
- Implementing state-of-the-art directed energy systems
- Driving range modernization initiatives that redefine operational capabilities
Beyond the Boardroom
My research on work-related stressors and turnover intentions among project engineers reflects my commitment to the human side of leadership. I believe exceptional results come from teams that are both technically skilled and personally fulfilled.
What to Expect Here
This space is where defense technology meets practical leadership insights. I’ll share hard-won lessons from the frontlines of complex project management, innovative approaches to seemingly impossible challenges, and perspectives on where our industry is heading.
Whether you’re a seasoned defense professional, a technology enthusiast, or simply curious about how massive-scale projects come together, I invite you to join this journey of exploration and innovation.
Let’s push boundaries together.
