for the last decade She has received numerous awards from
the Society including:
First Place, ASPRS John I. Davidson Award for Practical
Papers, 2011

Second Place, ASPRS John I. Davidson Award for Practi-
cal Papers, 1994.
The Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest
award an ASPRS member can receive, and there are only 25
living Honorary Members of the Society at any given time Can-
didates are chosen by a Nominating Committee made up of
the past five recipients of the award and chaired by the most
recent recipient Initiated in 1937, this life-time award is given
in recognition of individuals who have rendered distinguished
service to ASPRS and/or who have attained distinction in ad-
vancing the science and use of the geospatial information sci-
ences It is awarded for professional excellence and for at least
20 years of service to ASPRS.
Purpose:
To recognize an individual who has rendered distin-
guished service to ASPRS and/or who has attained distinction
in advancing the science and use of the mapping sciences. It is
awarded for professional excellence and for service to ASPRS
and consists of a plaque and a certificate.
Donor:
The ASPRS Foundation.
The Photogrammetric (Fairchild) Award
David F. Maune
The 2016 Photogrammetric Award (Fairchild) is awarded to
David F. Maune in recognition of his lifelong contributions
to the science and art of photogrammetry Maune earned his
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in geodetic science and photogramme-
try from The Ohio State University in 1970 and 1973 respec-
tively and won the ASPRS’ Talbert Abrams Grand Award in
1977 for his pioneering research in digital photogrammetry.
Maune also received the ASPRS Outstanding Service Award
in 2002 and again in 2007 and an ASPRS Presidential Cita-
tion in 2015.
He served for 30 years on Army active duty in the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and was the Army’s lead-
ing Topographic Engineer for over a decade He commanded
topographic engineer units at platoon, company, and battal-
ion levels. He was wounded in combat in 1966 while serv-
ing as the Mapping Officer, U.S. Army Vietnam He served
as Topographic Plans Officer at Headquarters, Department
of the Army, where he rewrote Army topographic engineer-
ing doctrine to focus on terrain analysis, created the Terrain
Analysis Warrant Officer specialty, and created Division Ter-
rain Teams equipped with modern technology He served as
Inspector General of the Defense Mapping Agency, and Di-
rector of the Defense Mapping School where he transitioned
Army topographic engineers from analog to digital technolo-
gy. He last served as Director, U.S. Army Topographic Engi-
neering Center (TEC), winning the Army’s R&D Organization
of the Year for 26 innovative technologies that modernized
U.S. Army topographic engineers. He retired from the Army
in 1991 at the rank of Colonel.
Maune joined Dewberry Consultants in 1992 as Senior Re-
mote Sensing Project Manager. He has managed five major
Dewberry geospatial contracts with USGS, four with NOAA,
one with DHS, plus miscellaneous contracts with state and
local governments and private industry His signature accom-
plishments at Dewberry include the following:
