Eric Moskun

Eric Moskun twenty-seven years of experience in development and production of
advanced electro-optic sensor systems. He has a master’s degree in optical
engineering from University of Rochester and a master’s degree in systems engineering
from John Hopkins University.
‍
Eric started at Raytheon in 1999 in the optical design and analysis group. He worked on
multiple EO/IR sensors for ground, airborne and space applications. This included doing
stray light and optical performance analysis the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer
Suit (VIIRS) for space based atmospheric and weather sensing. He directed several
small internal research and development efforts developing broad spectrum
hyperspectral imaging sensors, leading multiple field tests efforts. Including a test in
Singapore working with the Naval Research Lab and Singaporean research and military
personnel.
‍
He worked on the ARTEMIS imaging spectrometer on the Department of Defense
TacSat-3 Mission. He performed stray light analysis and helped to develop tools to
predict operational performance based on lab alignment, calibration accuracy and
environmental effects in operation. These tools would be further defined on multiple
advanced hyperspectral sensors.
‍
In 2013 Eric lead the optomechanical design team for the Common Module
Hyperspectral sensor design study for AFRL. When that effort transitioned to an
architecture and design study for multiple airborne platforms with the Air Force Eric
moved to be the Principal Investigator, leading the technical effort working with the AF,
NGA, AFRL and NASIC to develop a common set of requirements and configurations
for current and multiple long range hyperspectral sensors.
‍
In 2016 Eric was made a Raytheon Engineering Fellow and 2017 became the sensor
architect for the Electro-Optic Receiver Assembly (EOSA) for the Advanced Tactical
Pod product line. In 2021 Eric transitioned to product line Chief Engineer overseeing the
continuing development along with efforts to move into production for the F-22 and
other withheld platforms.
‍
In 2022 Eric was promoted to Senior Engineering Fellow. In 2023 Eric became the
Technology Director for that same advanced tactical pod product line focusing on
developing next generation capability for upgrades to current aircraft and expanding to
future platforms.
