   Sorry to take so long to respond, but I had to get someone else
to do some research....
   Mr Lippman **may** be connected with the US government in some
way, but if he[1] is, it doesn't appear to be on the defense side.
A search of the NATO suppliers and consultants list(s) turned up one
German company with a similar name, and no close matches in Canada
or the US.  

   I suspect that Mr. Lippman is merely a competent user of an
electronic search system, like QuickLaw here.  And even I can figure
out how to use it (well, I **used** to know how to use it five years
ago).
   Since he is posting an affiliation without a disclaimer, I
suspect he is merely lying.
