Dave Kleinman is a pilot in the United States Air Force, holding the rank of Captain. Since 2005, he has been a bridge officer aboard the Daedalus, accompanying that ship on its first mission and most of those that followed over the next year and a half. (SGA: "The Siege, Part 3")

When the Deadalus was dispatched to intercept a pair of Wraith hive ships on their way to Earth, Colonel Caldwell specifically instructed Kleinman to configure all of the Daedalus's missiles to launch as soon as the ship exited hyperspace — a task that he doubted was possible, but nonetheless managed to accomplish. He was also involved in repairing the ship after the battle. (SGA: "No Man's Land")

Later, during the first test of the McKay/Carter Intergalactic Gate Bridge he was piloting the Daedalus. During the test, the Tria went by and Colonel Caldwell told him to follow them. Later on, after the Asurans' take over of Atlantis, he was piloting the Daedalus carrying a bomb to destroy Atlantis.(SGA: "The Return, Part 1"),(SGA: "The Return, Part 2")

He was aboard the George Hammond when it was sent to the second Icarus type planet in an attempt to stop the Lucian Alliance from dialing the ninth chevron to Destiny. He monitored sensors during the attack and, as the planet became unstable, notified Colonel Carter that two F-302's had not yet returned. Carter made the decision to leave the two behind. (SGU: "Incursion, Part 1")

Notes

  • Kleinman's name has never been spoken on screen. Throughout Stargate Atlantis, Colonel Caldwell addresses him as "Weps" (which is short for "Weapons") and he is credited as "Daedalus Tech" or "Airman." His appearance on Stargate Universe went uncredited in the episode. His name and rank have consistently been shown on his flight suit, however.
