Dr. Penrose (Parney) Albright is currently serving as the Assistant Director for Homeland and National Security in the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Senior Director for Research and Development in the Office of Homeland Security, of the Executive Office of the President.
Dr. Albright has been involved in the national security arena since 1986. His most recent assignment was with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), where he initiated and managed programs in hydrodynamic drag reduction, molecular biology, target tagging, and speech encoding.
Prior to his time at DARPA, Parney was with the Science and Technology Division of the Institute for Defense Analyses. He is a Nationally known expert in ballistic missile boost-phase phenomenology and launch detection systems, and has served on several National panels in that area, including the so-called Everett Panel on Space Based Infrared satellites; the Space-based Infrared Architecture Study; the Congressionally-mandated "Heritage sensor" study, and the Space Systems Phenomenology Study.
Parney has been involved for many years with studies and analyses of ballistic and cruise missile defense concepts, including technical and performance analyses of space-based and airborne laser programs; sea-based ballistic missile defense concepts; boost-phase intercept systems; and National missile defense concepts. He has served on a number of prominent panels related to missile defense, including all of the various so-called "Welch Panels" associated with National Missile Defense. Parney has also been part of the Congressionally-mandated reviews of the lethality of the Patriot PAC-3 and Standard Missile/Arrow systems; the Boost-Phase Intercept study for USD(A&T); and led the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense study for OSD and the Joint Staff. He has been a member of the Space-based Laser Independent Review Team, and the Senior Steering Group for National Cruise Missile Defense. He led the analytic portion of the joint US-Israeli Short Range Rocket Defense study commissioned by the Secretary of Defense, and served as the technical lead for the Theater Air and Missile Defense Modernization panel for the 1996 Quadrennial Defense Review.
Parney also served on the National panel that reviewed the nerve gas transport modeling of the Khamisiyah release event in Iraq. He led the analytic team for the 1999 Defense Science Board Summer Study, which revolved around issues associated with the transport and sustainment of future Army rapid deployment forces. Parney has also led or participated in studies for DoD and the intelligence community in the area hyperspectral and multispectral sensor technologies and their application to a diverse set of problems.
Parney received his Ph.D. in Physics in 1985 from the University of Maryland, and his B.S. in both Physics and Applied Mathematics from the George Washington University in 1979.
