The Naval Weapons Center (now Naval Air Warefare Center), China Lake, established the Fellow program in 1988 to provide recognition to those individuals who
make continued and outstanding technical contributions. R. David Pogge was selected to be a fellow in the third year of the program.
The Fellow program is still active, but the Naval Air Warfare Center no longer includes the list of Fellows on its web page.

HISTORICAL NOTE
Fellow programs were established at the Pacific Missile Test Center
(PMTC), Pt. Mugu, in 1984 and at the Naval Weapons Center (NWC),
China Lake, in 1988 to provide recognition to those individuals who
make continued and outstanding technical contributions.
The two fellow programs used different selection processes but imposed
similar requirements for selection as a fellow. When the Naval Air
Warfare Center (NAWC) was formed, PMTC and NWC were among the
facilities consolidated under the NAWC Weapons Division (NAWCWPNS).
Because the fellow programs at Pt. Mugu and China Lake were the only
fellow programs of their type within NAWCWPNS and because these two
programs were similar, they were merged into a single program: the
NAWCWPNS Fellow Program. All PMTC and NWC Fellows were
automatically included as NAWCWPNS Fellows.
Any NAWCWPNS facility is entitled to participate in the NAWCWPNS
Fellow Program if it chooses. The current governing instruction is
NAWCWPNSINST 12400.1 of 29 September 1993.
THE NAWCWPNS FELLOW PROGRAM
A major factor in the success of the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons
Division (NAWCWPNS) is the innovative talent of our Scientists,
Engineers, Mathematicians, and other Technologists. The NAWCWPNS
Fellow Program provides formal peer recognition for those individuals
who make continued and outstanding technical contributions to the
success of NAWCWPNS.
To be recognized as a Fellow, a person must be recognized as a leading
expert in his or her field and will have made identifiable original
technical contributions critical to the success of NAWCWPNS programs.
Patent and/or publication activity and recognition of capability by
the technical community outside of NAWCWPNS is typical.
A Senior Fellow will have clearly extended the state of the art in his
or her field and made sustained, wide-ranging, and crucial
contributions to NAWCWPNS programs. Patent and/or publication
activity and recognition by the technical community outside of
NAWCWPNS is expected.
A Distinguished Fellow will have made pioneering developments in one
or more technical fields of direct benefit to NAWCWPNS. In addition,
he or she will be a nationally or internationally recognized expert
with significant patent and publication activity.
Conversion to Emeritus status is automatic if a Fellow is or becomes a
line manager (Branch or above) or retires.
Also, a minimum history of contribution to the success of NAWCWPNS
programs is required: 12 years for a Fellow, 17 years for a Senior
Fellow, and 20 years for a Distinguished Fellow.
To retain the ability of the NAWCWPNS Fellow Program to distinguish
truly outstanding technical contributions, only a limited fraction of
the technical population shall be so designated (technical population
is the number of NAWCWPNS technical employees). The number of Fellows
is limited to 3%, Senior Fellows to 0.75%, and Distinguished Fellows
to 0.25% of the technical population.
The selection process begins with nomination by a NAWCWPNS employee.
Selection requires approval by a department technical staff selection
committee, a Fellow Selection Committee, and finally a majority vote
of all Fellows. The surviving nominations are then sent to the Deputy
Commanders for Research and Development (R&D) and Test and Evaluation
(T&E) for comment and formal approval.
As the recognized leaders of the technical community, all designees
bear the responsibility for maintaining the capability, technical
image, and morale of NAWCWPNS. This can be accomplished by, but is
not limited to:
- Involvement in promoting activities for increased technical
productivity, training, patent and publication awareness, etc.
- Involvement in the review of appropriate independent exploratory
development, bid and proposal, and independent research proposals as
technical experts.
- Contributions to internal and external
technical publications.
- Nomination of candidates for Fellows.
- Acting as technical role model or mentor for other
technologists.
- Membership on appropriate technical
boards/committees.
The NAWCWPNS Fellow Program is defined by NAWCWPNSINST 12400.1 of 29
September 1993. Administration of the program is shown in the
following figure:
