Aviation
In July, Christopher Jabs was promoted from a Journeyman to a Senior Life Cycle Logistician. Chris supports the Fixed Wing Branch in the AFLCMC Special Operations / Personnel Recovery Division. He has been an Odyssey employee for over two years providing exceptional support to the warfighter. Additionally, he was formally recognized by the Government in July. Part of the write-up stated he, “…led to the identification of over $2.5M in missing Bill of Material discrepancies.”
In August, we welcomed John Kurian as the Group’s new Executive Director. John most recently served as the Deputy Commander of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), where he played a critical role in advancing key aviation programs and strategic initiatives. He brings a wealth of experience in defense aviation, leadership, and mission-focused execution. His expertise will be instrumental as we continue to strengthen our support for mission partners and drive innovation and excellence across the aviation enterprise. Welcome to the team, John!
C2ISR & CCN2
Odyssey welcomes Mike Harm as Executive Director of the C2ISR Group. With over 30 years of experience in defense acquisition and mission systems delivery—including leadership roles in C2ISR, Special Operations support, and advanced radar development, Mike brings a deep operational understanding and strategic insight to our team. We’re excited to have him on board and look forward to the impact his leadership will have across Odyssey.
The C5ISR Group was divided into two operations groups to better align the Odyssey teams with the customer missions. The first is the CCN2 Group, headed by Executive Director James Townsend. The second is the C2ISR Group, led by Executive Director Michael Harm. John Dionne was promoted to Senior Director and assists Mr. Harm in running the group. The C2ISR now consists of four sections, with Judy Ryan promoted to Director for Electronic System, Brittany Poore as Director for C3BM, Stu Kanesky as Director for ISR & SOF and Dave MacMillan as Director for Training.
Contract Awards
The C2ISR Group proudly announces the win of Odyssey’s first Task Order award on the Enterprise-Wide Agile Acquisition (EWAAC) IDIQ Contract at Eglin AFB. This effort is to provide support to the Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) International Program Office (PO) Technical Assistance Team (TAT) (AFLCMC/EBJI). The EWAAC contract is an Odyssey held indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract, designed to support the Air Force Materiel Command and Special Operations Command (SOCOM) by providing capabilities in system development, rapid prototyping, system integration, and enterprise analytics.
Odyssey C2ISR’s John M. Dionne and our premier HBN subcontractor PatchPlus Consulting, worked with the EBJI office at Eglin AFB, FL to leverage known performance in HBN and use this vehicle to provide targeting expertise for the development, presentation, and refinement of operational technical materials that incorporate Advanced Targeting Data (ATD) and Intelligence Mission Data (IMD)/Combat Support Database (CSDB) information. These materials will be used by our coalition partners to operationally plan JASSM use in the Mission Planning Environment (MPE).
This ~$2M/2-year effort represents the first Odyssey use of this IDIQ vehicle and another Odyssey contract presence in the Eglin AFB area.
