Congressman
Praises HTA’s Professional Practices and
Products
(LAS
CRUCES, NM—May 31, 2006) Congressman Steve
Pearce (R-New Mexico) visited Horton
Technical Associates (HTA), Inc., and
praised the company’s hiring of college
students into professional positions.
Of HTA’s 13
employees, eight are undergraduate or
graduate students at NMSU.
HTA
provides a professional mentoring
environment for students and graduates. It
offers local students the opportunity to
“stretch their wings” by providing
meaningful job assignments and adds to each
student’s skill set by providing realistic
training not offered in local universities.
Pearce, who
represents New Mexico’s second congressional
district, said he was “fascinated” by the
combat simulation software HTA has produced
for the U.S. Army and said that technology
can be applied elsewhere to benefit the
United States.
HTA is an
award-winning, high-tech modeling,
simulation, and analysis company. It helps
its clients determine needs, formulate paths
to the future, and understand the impact
that key decisions may have on the
performance of hardware systems, and systems
of systems, as well as potential outcomes of
their project plans.
Although
HTA started out as a defense contractor in
April 1999, the mature and robust processes,
tools, and techniques the company has
developed during the last seven years are
directly applicable to military, civilian,
and commercial markets in the areas of
hardware and system development efforts,
community planning and quality of life
issues, homeland security planning and
training issues, crisis planning, and the
preservation of cultural and historical
landmarks.
HTA, a
Service-Disabled, Veteran-Owned Business,
was established in 1999 and incorporated in
2001. HTA received the New Mexico Technology
Flying 40 in 2005 and 2006; a Certificate of
Appreciation for analytic and modeling
support to the Army Future Combat System (FCS)
program; a commemorative coin from the
Director of the U.S. Army TRADOC Analysis
