general (
ret.), U.S. Air Force (b. Sept. 14, 1910, Bremen, Ger.—d. June 20, 2005, Washington, D.C.), led intercontinental ballistic missile (
ICBM) and military space programs during the Cold War. He established a new management technique known as concurrency. Unlike the traditional method of developing a new weapon step-by-step, concurrency entailed designing all the weapon's subsystems simultaneously. This technique expedited development of the Atlas, Titan, and Minuteman ICBMs and thereby pushed the U.S. well ahead of the Soviet Union in fielding a powerful nuclear deterrent by the early 1960s.
