Harry Taylor

Harry Taylor serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to develop, test, and sustain advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems for naval warfare. He manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical systems including signal processing platforms, electronic warfare suites, radar detection architectures, and precision guidance instrumentation, ensuring alignment with naval expeditionary and surface force requirements. His work directly enables the modernization of sensor and communications capabilities critical to overmatch in contested environments. Taylor maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., who provide specialized engineering, systems integration, and technical support services. He also partners with niche suppliers such as Black Hills Ammunition Inc. for ordnance components and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for facility and infrastructure support. These relationships reflect a preference for established industry leaders with proven technical credibility in high-assurance defense domains. Taylor’s procurement activity is entirely classified under “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern underscores a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and schedule fidelity over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the high-stakes nature of naval electronic systems acquisition. His procurement portfolio is exclusively governed by NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—reflecting deep specialization in the development and sustainment of mission-critical sensors, navigation aids, electronic countermeasures, and precision targeting systems. His expertise lies at the intersection of defense electronics, signal integrity, and electro-optical system integration, serving as a critical link between technical requirements and operational readiness.
