In her new role, Wigge will lead the execution, technical development, and growth of significant lifesaving systems for the U.S. military. She will be responsible for all aspects of SRC’s force protection division, including program performance, developing an inclusive and innovative work environment, establishing strategic goals and objectives, developing industry partnerships, and ensuring customer satisfaction.

SRC on Oct. 25, 2019 announced it had formed the force protection division in response to customer priorities and to focus on developing electronic warfare, counter-unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and advanced technology solutions for protecting soldiers and military assets around the world.

In the same announcement, SRC indicated Wigge would serve as assistant VP of operations of the force protection division.

“Maureen’s leadership and knowledge around electronic warfare and counter-UAS programs have been vital to SRC’s continued success,” Kevin Hair, president and CEO of SRC, said in a statement. “We are excited to have Maureen leading the force protection group as they develop and deliver critical technology to our warfighters.”

Wigge has worked at SRC for over 12 years and has more than 35 years of experience in the EW (electronic warfare) field including technology development, direct support of programs, and management of large programs and engineering teams.

She earned her bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Virginia and is a graduate of the Center for Creative Leadership’s development program and the Johns Hopkins University/Syracuse University national security studies course.
