Accelint’s Dr. Dylan Schmorrow, a senior leader shaping the company’s AI and autonomy strategy, has received the 2025 Leadership and Innovation Vanguard Award at the Applied Human Factors and Ergonomics (AHFE) International Conference.
This recognition reinforces what our customers and partners already know: Accelint’s solutions are led by people with deep operational expertise and a track record of delivering where it matters most: in high-stakes, real-world environments.
Accelint Leadership Recognized on the Global Stage
Presented by the AHFE community, the Vanguard Award honors individuals whose work has reshaped how people and systems interact—advancing applied AI and human-centered design in ways that drive real-world outcomes. This year’s conference brought together over 1,240 participants and 4,100 contributors from 62 countries.
“I was honored to receive this recognition in front of so many leaders advancing human-centered technologies. From my early days in the Navy and DARPA to today at Accelint, the mission has remained the same: building AI systems that serve people—especially when the stakes are high.”
– Dr. Dylan Schmorrow, Accelint President
A Career That Mirrors Accelint’s Mission
Dr. Schmorrow has spent his career advancing operational AI, from DARPA and the Office of Naval Research to his time as CEO of SoarTech – a company pioneering AI since 1998 and known for building human-machine systems that perform in complex environments
When SoarTech joined forces with four other companies to become Accelint in 2024, Dr. Schmorrow remained a key leader through the transition. He helped shape the integrated platform we are today, and continues to ensure our solutions are grounded in the operational realities of the missions we support.
Shaping What’s Next for Accelint and the Mission
Dr. Schmorrow’s contributions have been recognized across government and industry. He is a recipient of the Department of the Navy Top Scientists and Engineers Award, the Leland S. Kollmorgen Spirit of Innovation Award, and multiple alumni honors from the Naval Postgraduate School and Western Michigan University. He’s also been a mentor, educator, and policy voice across NATO, TTCP, and the U.S. defense innovation ecosystem.
Behind every breakthrough at Accelint is a team driven by mission and grounded in experience. We’re honored to celebrate Dr. Schmorrow, and proud to work alongside people who turn bold ideas into operational advantage.
