摘要

Robert C. Seamans Jr., a gifted technologist-administrator who served as the ninth Secretary of the Air Force and oversaw the development of many systems which are still in front-line service, died on June 28 at his home in Massachusetts. He was 89. During his tenure at USAF, Seamans oversaw the development of the F-15 fighter and the E-3 AWACS airborne command and control system, set requirements for the B-1 bomber, launched the program which led to the A-10 attack aircraft, and chose the finalists in the Lightweight Fighter competition. That program eventually yielded the F-16 and F/A-18 fighters now serving in the Air Force and Navy, and in more than 30 allied nations around the world. Born in 1918, Seamans earned an engineering degree from Harvard in 1939 and a master's in aeronautics from MIT in 1942. By 1951, he had earned a doctorate in guidance and instrumentation, also from MIT, where he taught throughout the 1950s. During that period, he also became an advisor to the Navy, Air Force, and NASA, and worked for RCA and the Navy as a program manager on guidance systems for missiles, aircraft, and spacecraft. He also served on the Air Force's Scientific Advisory Board from 1957 to 1967.
