17 186 213 1711 | Pentagon's top technology officials resign, June 23, 2020


The Pentagon’s top technology official and his deputy are resigning next month, a Defense Department official confirmed on Tuesday.


Mike Griffin, the Pentagon's first undersecretary of research and engineering, and his deputy, Lisa Porter, will leave July 10, the official said.



The resignations were first reported by Inside Defense.






103 is the 27th prime number




Lisa Porter  is an American scientist and founding Director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity. Prior to this position, she was the Associate Administrator for Aeronautics Research at NASA and a senior scientist in the Advanced Technology Office of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Porter is the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, a newly created position.

After her confirmation by the United States Senate, she again will be reporting to Under Secretary of Defense Michael Griffin, her former supervisor at NASA.


Michael Douglas Griffin is an American physicist and aerospace engineer who is the current Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. He previously served as Administrator of NASA, the U.S. space agency, from April 13, 2005, to January 20, 2009. As NASA Administrator Griffin oversaw such areas as the future of human spaceflight, the fate of the Hubble telescope and NASA's role in understanding climate change.

In April 2009 Griffin, who has an academic background, was named eminent scholar and a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Griffin had worked at NASA prior to serving as NASA Administrator, including as Associate Administrator for Exploration. When he was nominated as NASA chief, he was head of the Space Department at the Johns Hopkins University APL (APL) in Laurel, Maryland.

While he describes himself as a "simple aerospace engineer from a small town", Griffin has held several high-profile political appointments. In 2007 he was included in the TIME 100, the magazine's list of the 100 most influential people.

Griffin's appointment as Administrator was associated with a significant shift in the direction of the agency. He began signaling intended changes at his Senate confirmation hearing.



From today's announcement of Mike Griffin, the Pentagon's top technology officer, and his deputy Lisa Porter, steping down next month (6/23/20) to his birthday (11/1/20) is exactly 18 weeks and 6 days later, much like 186
