Chuck O’Donnell

Chuck has transformed Teknicare from a small start-up information technology company into a diverse engineering, advisory, and assistance services firm. His robust background in IT and information security, having served as the Information Systems Security Manager at Boeing-SVS, benefits all of their programs. Information security is foundational to everything they do and Chuck’s attention to detail regarding how they manage their internal processes and information, as well as exchanges with partners and customers, contributes substantially to Teknicare’s success. He maintains currency in IT systems trends and capabilities that can be supplied to their customers, both now and in the future. His considerable expertise in mobile computing, cyber solutions, and multi-platform integration ensures that their technical recommendations will work and be the best value to meet their customer’s needs.

In the Spring of 2015, Chuck expanded Teknicare’s business beyond IT services to include engineering subject matter experts (SMEs) to support government and industry groups involved in the development, experimentation, and testing of directed energy weapon systems. Leveraging his first-hand experience with the Advanced Tactical Laser (ATL) airborne high energy laser (HEL) program and his extensive network of friends and colleagues in the DE community, he has assembled a world-class engineering team with many decades of HEL experience. Teknicare is now involved in HEL programs for each of the Armed Services, providing value throughout the weapon system life cycle.
