Background

He "is a computer scientist assigned to 4.5.3.3. He works for PMA-231 as the Open Architecture (OA) IPT

lead, in the OA/FORCEnet IPT of the Network Centric Warfare IPT. Prior to this he worked at Saint Inigoes

for 4.5 and developed a prototype next generation flight data recorder, using COTS components, to meet

incident reporting, maintenance and FOQA needs. Pat also supported the old PMA-282 which did weapon

control systems for guided missiles. Pat has an MS in computer Information Systems from Florida Tech." [3]

"Pat Kohli, NCW Open Architecture Lead, demonstrated how the E-2/C-2 program office (PMA-231) is

continuously evaluating and implementing software modernization to facilitate transition of the existing E-2

operational flight program to an environment using commercially available systems. Venlet said, "The Naval

Aviation Enterprise has embraced open architecture as a fundamental building block of weapon system

development from its very inception. Our government/industry teams continue to leverage these open system

strategies and concepts in achieving reduction in overall development cycle times and delivering increased

system capabilities to the Fleet faster and cheaper. The advantages of integrating open architecture designs and

contracting strategies are measurable and pronounced as is substantiated by our E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and

P-8 Multi-Mission Aircraft development programs. The key to continued success will be maintaining the close

partnership with industry experts, as we provide the right capabilities, at the right time and right cost to the joint

warfighter."The E-2 Hawkeye team has been representing and directly supporting Venlet's executive office - the

aviation domain lead for open architecture initiatives - since June 2004, because of its role as a battle

management command and control platform and a central network communications node in aviation. E-2

Program Manager Capt. Randy Mahrsaid, "Today's evolving E-2 open architecture model paves the way for a

more mature system to be used by the E-2D prior to it taking its place in the fleet."[3]

Pat Kohli has maintained a consistent web presence since the late 1990s, particularly on USENET, addressing

both external critics and dissenters within the Haifan Baha'i Faith tradition to which he belongs [5]

(http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/archive.htm). In 1998, he voted against the creation of the

USENET group, talk.religion.bahai, as an un-moderated discussion forum for issues relating to the Baha'i

faith [4]. Official discussion regarding the creation of this group may also be found at: [6] (http://www.faqs.org

/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/talk/talk.religion.bahai). He posts under the handles Mr All Bad and

All_Bad [5]
