He led development of microwave and missile technology and is sometimes known as the father of the [[intercontinental ballistic missile]] (ICBM). He also developed [[General Electric|General Electric's]] [[electron microscope]]. He played prominent roles in the formation of two Fortune 500 companies, Ramo-Wooldridge ([[TRW Inc.|TRW]] after 1958, now part of [[Northrop Grumman]]) and [[Bunker Ramo|Bunker Ramo Corporation]] (now part of [[Honeywell]]). == Early years == Ramo was born in [[Salt Lake City]], [[Utah]], the son of Clara (Trestman) and Benjamin Ramo.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2SD-SKQT|title=FamilySearch.org|website=[[FamilySearch]] |accessdate=July 18, 2023}}</ref> His father was a Polish Jewish immigrant and his mother was a Russian Jewish immigrant. He entered the [[University of Utah]] at the age of 16, where he joined [[Theta Tau]] Professional Engineering Fraternity and earned a B.S. in [[electrical engineering]] at the age of 20. By 1936, at the age of 23, he had earned dual PhD degrees from [[California Institute of Technology|Caltech]] in [[physics]] and electrical engineering.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://caltechcampuspubs.library.caltech.edu/2558/1/1936.pdf |title=Caltech Commencement Program |date=1936-06-12 |publisher=Caltech Campus Publications |access-date=2013-03-29}}</ref> == Career == {{more citations needed section|date=January 2023}} === General Electric === From 1936 until 1946, he led electronics research at [[General Electric]], where he accumulated 25 patents before the age of 30 and was cited as one of America's most outstanding young electrical engineers. He became globally recognized as a leader in [[microwave]] research and headed the development of GE's [[electron microscope]]. === Hughes Aircraft === In 1946 he returned to California to become director of research for the electronics department of [[Hughes Aircraft]], and his career became coupled with that of [[Dean Wooldridge]]. Together they formed a successful team for many years, with Wooldridge concentrating on investment and general business aspects while Ramo led research, development and engineering. By 1948, Hughes had created its Aerospace Group to work with the newly created [[United States Air Force|U.S. Air Force]]. Dr. Ramo became a Vice-President and the Group's Director of Operations. Ramo employed his skills in Systems Engineering to allow Hughes to deliver integrated RADAR and aircraft fire-control systems. He developed the air-to-air missile, creating the [[AIM-4 Falcon|Falcon missile]]. In 1953 Ramo and [[Dean Wooldridge]] left Hughes Aircraft and formed the Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation, later TRW Inc. === Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation (TRW Inc.) === By 1953 Ramo and the Air Force had become increasingly frustrated with management problems at Hughes. Ramo and Wooldridge were particularly concerned when [[Howard Hughes]] avoided their attempts to discuss the problem. In September they jointly resigned, and within a week they formed the Ramo-Wooldridge Corporation on September 16, 1953. [[File:Trevor Gardner, Bernard Schriever and Simon Ramo.jpg|thumb|Three people most directly responsible for the success of the early Atlas program: [[Trevor Gardner]], [[Bernard Schriever]] and Simon Ramo, c. 1956.]] In October 1953 an Assistant [[United States Secretary of Defense|Secretary of Defense]], [[Trevor Gardner]], created a committee to consider the future of guided missiles. This [[Teapot Committee|Strategic Missile Evaluation Committee]] (SMEC) was headed by [[John von Neumann]] and included both Ramo and Wooldridge. In four months, the committee produced their report and recommended that a crash program was needed to develop [[intercontinental ballistic missile]]s, and that such a program might enable the United States to overtake Russian developments by 1959 or 1960. The Ramo-Wooldridge Corp. became the lead contractor for the resulting Air Force program. With Dr. Ramo as the driving scientific and engineering officer, they succeeded. In 1958, an [[Atlas (rocket family)|Atlas rocket]] delivered a payload 5,000 miles downrange. The Atlas would go on to serve as the launch vehicle for NASA's [[Project Mercury]] orbital flights, starting with [[John Glenn]] in [[Mercury-Atlas 6|Friendship 7]]. USAF General [[Bernard Adolph Schriever|Bernard Schriever]], head of the ICBM program, described Ramo as "the architect of the [[Thor (rocket family)|Thor]], [[Atlas (rocket family)|Atlas]], and [[Titan (rocket family)|Titan]]" rockets. According to a July 30, 2002, article, Ramo's comments are legendary for capsulizing complex ideas into off-the-cuff witticisms.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2002-jul-30-fi-ramo30-story.html |title=Industry Icon Key Matchmaker in Merger of Northrop, TRW. |date=2002-07-30 |work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|access-date=2024-05-27}}</ref> During a series of key experiments of ballistic missiles in the 1950s at Cape Canaveral, Florida, at which Ramo and Air Force General Bernard Schriever were observers, test rockets kept blowing up on their launch pads. When one missile rose about 6&nbsp;inches before toppling over and exploding, Ramo reportedly beamed and said: "Well, Benny, now that we know the thing can fly, all we have to do is improve its range a bit." Ramo-Wooldridge merged with [[TRW Inc.#History|Thompson Products]] to become [[TRW Inc.]], and Simon Ramo became Vice-Chairman. In 1964, TRW and [[Martin Marietta]] formed the jointly owned [[Bunker Ramo|Bunker Ramo Corporation]] with Ramo as President, which expanded into the computer and communications technology fields. In January 2008, he joined the faculty of the [[University of Southern California]]'s [[USC Viterbi School of Engineering|Viterbi School of Engineering]] as a presidential chair and professor of electrical engineering.<ref name=USC011008>[http://www.usc.edu/uscnews/stories/14703.html Legendary Engineer Joins USC Viterbi] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080224144316/http://www.usc.edu/uscnews/stories/14703.html |date=February 24, 2008 }}, USC News, January 10, 2008.</ref> Ramo is also a [[List of founding members of the National Academy of Engineering|founding member]] of the [[National Academy of Engineering]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nae.edu/About/leadership/57773.aspx |title=Founding members of the National Academy of Engineering |publisher=[[National Academy of Engineering]] |access-date={{Format date|2012|10|21}}}}</ref> == Awards, appointments and fellowships == During his long and successful career, Ramo has received numerous awards and fellowships. He has been honored by the [[American Philosophical Society]], the [[Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers]] (IEEE), the [[American Physical Society]], and the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]]. Ramo has served as an advisor to the United States government on science and technology. He has been a member of the National Science Board, the White House Council on Energy R&D, the Advisory Council to the Secretary of Commerce, the Advisory Council to the Secretary of State for Science and Foreign Affairs, and of many special advisory committees to the [[U.S. Department of Defense|Defense Department]] and [[NASA]]. President [[Gerald Ford]] appointed Ramo as co-chairman of a committee of distinguished scientists and engineers, requesting Ramo to list the science and technology issues most deserving of attention by the White House and to recommend actions. Following this, Ramo was appointed by President Ford to be chairman of The President's Advisory Committee on Science and Technology, a position created by Congress to advise on how to ensure that science and technology matters receive proper attention at the White House. In 1980, then-President-elect [[Ronald Reagan]] asked Ramo to assemble a transition task force to advise on executive branch appointments where science and technology background was desirable. President Reagan subsequently invited Ramo to be a Science Adviser to the President of the Republic of China. In that assignment, Ramo aided greatly Taiwan's development of a strong high-technology industry. On February 23, 1983, Ramo was presented with the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] by President Reagan. In 1982, the IEEE Board of Directors initiated the [[IEEE Simon Ramo Medal]] for exceptional achievement in systems engineering and systems science. In 1988, Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity inducted Simon Ramo, Lambda (Utah)'33, into its [http://thetatau.org/Websites/thetatauhq/images/Alumni_Hall_Of_Fame_Laureates.pdf Alumni Hall of Fame] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160909004111/http://thetatau.org/Websites/thetatauhq/images/Alumni_Hall_Of_Fame_Laureates.pdf |date=September 9, 2016 }}. In 2007, the [[Space Foundation]] awarded Ramo its highest honor, the General [[James E.
