Timothy S. McCune (born March 30, 1963) is an American businessman and former journalist known primarily as former president of Integrated Wave Technologies, Inc., and current president of Linear Integrated Systems, Inc.

McCune in 2004 became president of Integrated Wave Technologies, Inc., a company founded in 1992 to combine the talents of Silicon Valley pioneer John H. Hall with former Soviet scientists who had worked with speech recognition. [1] [2] [3]

McCune traveled extensively in Iraq and Afghanistan to complete testing and development of IWT’s flagship product, the Voice Response Translator (VRT). [4] [5]

In 2008, Inc Magazine named IWT the 200th Fastest Growing Company in the US. [6]

In 2010, McCune was named as sole inventor in a patent related to IWT’s work for DARPA, US Patent 7,707,035. [7]

DARPA subsequently awarded IWT with a contract for the purchase of 2,000 licenses for the digital version of the highly successful VRT application for Android systems. [8]

In 2014, McCune was named president of Linear Integrated Systems, Inc., after the death of company founder John H. Hall. He is a member of the board of directors of Linear Integrated Systems and remains on the board of IWT. [9]

McCune published in December, 2017 a novel based on his travels to Afghanistan and Russia entitled, “Last Call in Kabul.” The book peaked at No.1 on Kindle in the Russian Fiction subcategory and No. 8 in the War Fiction subcategory. [10]

The Rockwell X-30 was an advanced technology demonstrator project for the National Aero-Space Plane (NASP), part of a United States project to create a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) spacecraft and passenger spaceliner. Started in 1986, it was cancelled in the early 1990s before a prototype was completed, although much development work in advanced materials and aerospace design was completed. While a goal of a future NASP was a passenger liner capable of two-hour flights from Washington to Tokyo, the X-30 was planned for a crew of two and oriented towards testing.
