Miles Altman brings to Dualos a deep experience in avionics, both in and out of the military. As a senior NCO in the US Air Force Reserve he worked on the C-17, learning its communication, navigation, and countermeasures systems, as well the data buses that connect many of its components. He was a Quality Assurance Inspector for the 315^th Maintenance Group at Joint Base Charleston, and now leads and mentors a team of technicians to develop maintenance skills and readiness to meet Air Force needs.

Miles has also been a civilian employee for the Air Force, where he was a subject matter expert on flightline support equipment. He served as senior field engineer on F-16 flight simulators for Lockheed Martin, during which time he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in technical management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

“Miles will bring value to our customers by providing them with solutions to their more difficult avionics problems,” says Harris. “The most complex test and simulation challenges can only be addressed by a team that understands that complexity. Miles’ vast avionics maintenance and flightline support knowledge are crucial to providing customers with application assurance and expertise.”
