His experience in the industry – especially in regard to remote sensing – is valuable for our customers as his technical knowledge is deep and spans several technologies and product lines.”

Barry Logue said: “NRG Systems considers its staff to be a key element of its continued success and I expect to work with the NRG product development and support teams to expand the largest operating fleet of wind Lidars for wind resource and wind farm operations.”
