COMPANY BACKGROUND
COMPANY BACKGROUND
- Extensive experience in development, at sea
testing, and analysis of ship detection and ship
tracking algorithms for US Navy and the United
Kingdom Royal Navy - Have provided on site technical support for 28
years in search and ship tracking tactics to
Commander Submarine Development Squadron TWELVE,
the tactical development agent for the Submarine
Force - Developed over past twenty-five years search and
tracking computer programs (called tactical
decision aids) for real time use on board
submarines - Developed ocean current data assimilation and
area of uncertainty tracking algorithms for US
Coast Guard Search and Rescue applications
- Six hours of four (4) simulated ship tracks
- Three approaching New York City one departing
