Colonel Michael J. Williams was appointed as the Director of Integration for the Program Executive Office, Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S) in July 2021. As the Director of Integration for PEO IEW&S, he manages the PEO IEW&S programs in experimentation, artificial intelligence and modular open system architecture (MOSA) development spanning the
Army’s portfolio of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); electronic warfare (EW); cyber and space; force protection; position, navigation, and timing (PNT); and target acquisition programs. These capabilities provide the Soldier with the ability to detect, recognize, and identify targets and collect, tag, and mine intelligence, which can be integrated into the tactical network to support force protection maneuver, persistent surveillance, and provide a more detailed understanding of the battlefield.

In his previous assignment, Colonel Williams served as the Chief of Operations for U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM). A major subordinate command of Army Futures Command (AFC), DEVCOM has the mission to provide innovative research, development and engineering to produce capabilities that provide decisive overmatch to the Army against the complexities of the current and future operating environments in support of the Joint Warfighter and the Nation.

Colonel Williams was commissioned a Second Lieutenant through the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps in May of 1998. He was assessed into the Armor Corps. His operational assignments include Tank Platoon Leader, Scout Platoon Leader, and Troop Executive Officer, 1st Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment, Fort Hood, Texas; Squadron Adjutant, 3rd Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, Fort Polk, Louisiana; Regimental Adjutant, 2nd Cavalry Regiment, Assistant Operations Officer and Company Commander, 4th Battalion 9th Infantry Regiment, Fort Lewis, Washington.

In December of 2010, Colonel Williams transitioned to the Acquisition Corps. His Army and Joint acquisition assignments include Assistant Product Manager (APdM), Command and Control on the Move (C2OTM); APdM, Harbormaster Command and Control Center (HCCC); APdM, Warfighter Information Network – Tactical Increment 1 (WIN-T Inc1); APdM, Ground Mobility (USSOCOM); Program Manager, Special Programs (USSOCOM); Product Manager (PdM), Mission Network; and Director, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army, Acquisition, Logistics and Technology – Forward (OASA(AL&T) FWD) for the USCENTCOM Area of Responsibility.

Colonel Williams earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan Technological University, a Master of Business Administration in Acquisition and Contract Management from the Naval Post Graduate School, and a Master of Science, National Resource Strategy from the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy.

He is a member of the Army Acquisition Corps and is Level III certified in Program

Management. He is a graduate of the Command and General Staff College, Airborne, and Ranger Schools. Colonel Williams completed the Armor Officer Basic Course, Scout Leaders Course, Armor Officer Advance Course, and the Cavalry Leaders Course.

His military awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal (2 OLC), Army Commendation Medal (2 OLC), Army Achievement Medal (2 OLC), the Afghanistan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Iraq Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the NATO Medal, the Combat Action Badge, the US Army Ranger Tab, the Expert Infantryman’s Badge, and the Army Parachutist Badge.

Mr. Paul L. Terzulli III, Deputy Director PEO IEW&S Integration Directorate

Mr. Paul Terzulli is currently assigned as the Deputy Director for the PEO IEW&S Integration Directorate, at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, leading initiatives to implement Customer Experience / User Experience (CX/UX) focused innovations in support of the IEW&S mission to design, deliver, and integrate advanced technologies in the areas of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Electronic Warfare, Cyber, and Space. In this role, he also promotes the convergence of soldier centered design, open systems architectures, and standardized technologies, integrating across the 30+ Army Acquisition Programs managed by the PEO. He represents PEO IEW&S on multiple DoD, Army, and NATO/FVEY forums, including the N-C3I CFT and Multi-Domain Task Force (MDTF). In addition, he stood up the first CX/UX program for PEO IEW&S, ensuring alignment with Presidential Executive Order 27380 objectives through focused experimentation, such as Soldier Touchpoints (STPs).

Prior to his current assignment, Mr. Terzulli completed an assignment as the Systems Integration Officer for PEO C3T / PM I2S, advising on Army network interoperability strategies as Project Lead for the Electronic Warfare Modular Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) Mounted Form Factor (CMFF) prototyping and experimentation program. In this position, he led the program and engineering effort that successfully demonstrated the CMFF Minimum Viable Product (MVP) at the Army C5ISR Network Modernization Experiment (NetModX) 2021 event, the 2021 PNT Assessment Exercise (PNTAX), and ultimately the 2021 Army Project Convergence Exercises.

From November 2016 to July 2020, Mr. Terzulli served as the Chief Technology Officer for Tactical Radios for PEO C3T, leading an engineering team on the design of current and future tactical wireless communications capabilities. He represented the PEO and Army on multiple Department of Defense (DoD) level Integrated Product Teams, including as a charter member of the Network-Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence Cross Functional Team (N-C3I CFT) within Army Futures Command. In this position, Mr. Terzulli directed a $6M collaborative project with industry leaders to develop and implement the DevSecOps toolchains and methodologies essential in shortening the DoD systems development life cycle for mission-critical tactical C5ISR solutions, successfully testing a prototype implementation in coordination with a software development effort for the 82nd Airborne Division in 2019.

From March 2011 to November 2016, Mr. Terzulli was appointed as Branch Chief, Tactical Networks – Technical Management Division (TMD), for PEO C3T, leading an integrated team managing the design, development, fielding, and operational sustainment of tactical network systems, including Cyber, Electromagnetic Spectrum and Satellite Operations capabilities. As project lead for more than ten rapid integration and modernization projects he directed the full acquisition life cycle for multiple new tactical C5ISR products and capabilities. As Army representative to the DoD Chief Information Officer Network Management Workgroup (DoD CIO NMWG) and the Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) LandWarNet / Mission Command General Officer Steering Committee, he was instrumental in the launch of several Army C5ISR acquisition programs, including Cyber Situational Understanding (SU), Tactical Defense Cyberspace Operations (DCO) Infrastructure (TDI) and Unified Network Operations (UNO).

Following military service, Mr. Terzulli completed multiple engineering assignments, including a Project Lead position with the National Security Engineering Center Federally Funded Research & Development Center (NSEC FFRDC), in which he delivered comprehensive systems engineering services to Army C5ISR digitization efforts for Army Force XXI.

Mr. Terzulli began his career as an Army Civilian in 2009 as Chief Systems Engineer for the Network Operations – Current Force program with PEO C3T at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, where he led the 20-person team that designed, developed, and delivered the network control solution for the Warfighter Information Network – Tactical (WIN-T) Increment 2 program.
