Michael DeKort

Michael DeKort was a Lockheed Martin project engineering manager who posted a whistleblowing video on Youtube.com. He objected to serious safety and security issues on the United States Coast Guard's 123 foot patrol boats manufactured for the Deepwater program. DeKort particularly objected to testimony before House Homeland Security Committee in May 2007 by Lockheed Martin executive Fred Moosally which he called, "not entirely accurate or truthful."^[1]

In April 2008 Michael was awarded the Barus Ethics Award from the IEEE for his efforts. The award was presented by U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings.
