Project Manager Intelligence Systems & Analytics celebrated Col. Jonathan Lipscomb’s assumption of charter of the PM office Aug. 13, 2025, at the Myer Auditorium on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. Lipscomb assumed the charter of PM IS&A from Greg Hartman, who has been the Acting PM since Jan. 30.

PM IS&A develops, fields, and delivers modernized intelligence systems and strives to integrate best-value solutions for Soldiers and the battlefield. The team is responsible for providing revolutionary solutions and enhancing intelligence processing, exploitation, and dissemination capabilities.

Brig. Gen. Kevin Chaney, Program Executive Officer Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors, hosted the event and passed the responsibility from Hartman to Lipscomb. Chaney thanked Hartman for his leadership over the last nearly-seven months and congratulated him on the “amazing job” the team has been doing. He welcomed Lipscomb to the PM and wished him luck.

Hartman said his time as the acting PM has been “quite the adventure.” He recognized the team for their accomplishments this calendar year despite “exceptional circumstances.”

“To the entire PM staff: None of this is possible without the contributions you make,” Hartman said.

Over the last six months as the Acting PM, Hartman has been essential in ensuring the PM IS&A mission stays on track. Under his guidance, the Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) team began fielding its first prototypes, getting useful feedback directly from Soldiers and other users to improve the system going forward; the Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) team secured their Block 1 certification and will begin delivering systems across the Dept. of Defense; and enabled PM IS&A to keep advancing capabilities to adapt to Army needs. Over his 20-year career so far with the Army, Hartman has played a pivotal role in shaping the future battlefield and modernizing Army intelligence capabilities.

Lipscomb said he’s very excited to be back with PEO IEW&S and have the opportunity to work with some of the folks he’s engaged with in prior roles.

“What we do here directly impacts the battlefield,” Lipscomb said. “Thank you for your trust.”

As the newest Project Manager for IS&A, Lipscomb will perform as the “total lifecycle systems manager reporting to the PEO for IEW&S. He will manage his assigned program in a matter consistent with the policies and principles articulated in the Department of Defense Directives and Army Regulations,” according to the PM IS&A Charter. Further, Lipscomb will be responsible for coordinating with stakeholders to ensure a system-of-systems engineering approach necessary for seamless interoperability across the Army and Joint enterprises. He’ll also manage lifecycle aspects of the PM to “ensure fully supportable systems and capabilities that meet reliability, availability, and maintainability requirements,” the Charter read.

“I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to lead such a great team and tackle such an important mission in this dynamic time,” Lipscomb said. “It takes a village.”
