PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAR Technology Corporation (NYSE: PAR), today announced the appointment of Dr. Leah Rowe as Director of Training and Readiness. Dr. Rowe will be working out of PGSC offices in Dayton, Ohio. Dr. Rowe is responsible for managing the transition and transfer of advanced training technology from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to PGSC and creating new business with operational users within DoD, non-DoD Federal, and commercial/international settings.

Dr. Rowe joins PGSC following a distinguished career in public service at the Air Force Research Laboratory, where she led a robust research and development portfolio focused on advanced training technology and human performance. This included the development of the Networked Integrated Tactical Environment (NITE), a modular simulator infrastructure and human performance research environment. NITE provides rapid and performance-based training for the tactics, techniques, and procedures necessary to be effective in today’s military.

Under sponsorship of AFRL’s Entrepreneurial Opportunities Program (EOP), Dr. Rowe will be spearheading both the transition and transfer of technology from the NITE program to a wide range of use cases that align with PGSC’s business areas.

“Leah is an internationally recognized expert in her field, and the NITE technology complements our expertise in special operations, unmanned vehicles, and advanced situational awareness,” said PGSC President Matthew Cicchinelli. “Leah will provide us with an important corporate presence in the training community and advance our business in an area of strategic growth for the company.”
