correspondence, diagrams, printed material both published and in draft form,

materials related to Dr. Holmes’ career in the United States Air Force,
Texas Instruments. Much of the material focuses on Dr. Holmes’ role in the
creation of the Global Positioning System, or GPS.
Dr. Jerry Dale Holmes was born on March 11, 1937 in a farmhouse in the Irick
rural community in Floyd County, Texas, near the town of Lockney, Texas. His
father was Oliver Wendell Holmes and his mother was Buena Lou Weems Holmes.
Jerry attended Irick country school for grades one through four, then rode a
bus into Lockney schools for grades five through twelve. He graduated from
Lockney High School in 1955 and attended Texas Technological College for
four years, receiving a BS degree in Electrical Engineering in 1959. In the
summer of 1960 Dr. Holmes married Glynda Kay Steelman, a Texas Tech student
from Plainview, Texas.
Having been an AFROTC cadet for four years, at graduation he was
commissioned Second Lieutenant in the USAF. He was granted a delay by the
USAF for a year to complete a Masters degree. He attended the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology that year, earning a Master’s Degree in Electrical
Engineering in 1960, supported by a Schlumberger Foundation Fellowship. His
thesis advisor at MIT was Prof. Amar G. Bose who later founded the Bose
Corporation which became a world leader in a wide variety of high quality
audio products. Dr. Holmes’s master’s thesis was an audio experiment related
to Dr. Bose’s extensive investigations into requirements for high quality
audio reproduction in the home. In the summer of 1960 Dr. Holmes married
Glynda Kay Steelman, a Texas Tech student from Plainview, Texas.
From 1960 until 1963 Dr. Holmes fulfilled his military obligation by serving
at the USAF Satellite Test Center in Sunnyvale, California, where he
participated in the Command and Control of military satellites during the
early days of the USA military space program. Leaving the USAF in 1963 Dr.
Holmes enrolled in a PhD program at Oklahoma State University, supported by
a NASA Traineeship. He received a PhD in Electrical Engineering from OSU in
1965 and accepted employment at the military electronics division of Texas
Instruments in Dallas, Texas. He then worked for Texas Instruments (TI) for
31 years on a variety of military programs performing systems analysis,
system engineering, signal processing analysis and design, algorithm design,
system simulation and technical direction. In 1976 he began a fifteen year
stint working on a wide variety of military programs related to the Global
Positioning System (GPS) for the US Department of Defense. Texas Instruments
was an early manufacturer of precision GPS Receiver Systems for DOD
customers. Dr. Holmes was a key contributor to the system design of military
GPS receivers for man-portable GPS receivers, high-dynamics airborne
receivers, receivers carried by Minuteman Missiles during two flight tests,
and earth satellite GPS receivers.
Dr. Holmes was the last Technical Director for the G/AIT program at Texas
Instruments which built a complex receiver/antenna system that was designed
to be installed on military aircraft and used should a thermonuclear war
erupt between the US and the Soviet Union. The Ground/Airborne IONDS
Terminal would listen to signals transmitted by GPS satellites whose nuclear
burst detection sensors would be relaying to earth the specific details
concerning the location, timing, and strength of nuclear detonations near
the surface of the earth. Such information would be used in the
determination of where the US should aim its remaining ICBM inventory. Such
a nuclear scenario would create a heavily disturbed ionosphere which would
massively degrade the GPS radio waves as they passed through on their way to
the G/AIT airborne system antennas. Dr. Holmes was also one of the principle
designers of the Fade Resistant Receiver portion of the G/AIT system which
was designed to maintain successful tracking of the GPS radio signals during
this period of peak stress. Following Dr. Holmes work on GPS related
programs, he worked for several years on classified programs related to
Electronic Warfare (EW) where the goal is early detection of hostile radio
and radar signals so that appropriate defensive and/or offensive measures
can be taken in real time on the battlefield. Dr. Holmes was Technical
Director for several years on one such classified system.
During his career Dr. Holmes was author or co-author for eleven technical
publications and inventor or co-inventor leading to eleven patents. Dr.
Holmes is considered one of the pioneers of the Receiver Systems portion of
the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to the work he did at Texas
Instruments beginning in 1976 and continuing for the next fifteen years. Dr.
Holmes took an early retirement incentive offer from Texas Instruments and
retired the last day of 1996 after working for TI military divisions for
thirty-one years. In 1987 Texas Instruments cited Dr. Holmes for his
technical contributions to Global Navigation by naming him a Texas
Instruments Fellow, an honor that is restricted to the top 1% of the
technical staff at TI. In 1989 Dr. Holmes was named a Distinguished Engineer
by Texas Tech University. In 1996 Dr. Holmes received the Melvin R. Lohmann
Medal from the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology at
Oklahoma State University which is awarded to one former student of OSU each
year. Dr. Holmes is a Registered Professional Engineer in the state of
Texas, currently on Inactive status.
Dr. Holmes’ wife, Glynda Kay Steelman (known today as Kay Holmes), was born
in Lawton, Oklahoma, on February 3, 1942 to James Alvin Steelman and Vera
Elnora Stair Steelman. At age 7 Kay moved to a farm in Hale County, Texas,
near Plainview. She attended East Mound country school for grades three
through six and then Plainview schools, finally graduating Plainview High
School in 1958 at age 16. She enrolled at Texas Tech in 1958 as a Business
Education major where her brother James Eldon Steelman introduced her to
fellow EE classmate, Jerry Holmes, in January 1959. Jerry and Kay became
engaged during the summer of 1959 while Jerry worked in the Summer
Development Program at Texas Instruments in Dallas just prior to beginning
graduate studies at MIT in September. Jerry and Kay married in June 1960 at
the First Methodist Church in Lockney. Upon Jerry’s completion of graduate
studies at MIT, they drove from Boston to Sunnyvale, California where they
lived during his three year USAF tour. There, they had their first child,
Kurt Alan Holmes, in 1962. Their next child, Eric Lane Holmes, was born in
Dallas in 1966, and their daughter, Erin Lynette Holmes, was born in Dallas
in 1970.
