So proud

My super intelligent hubby has won an award for the paper he wrote as his Master's Thesis. The paper was published in the MORS Journal - Military Operantional Research Society. He wrote it 2 years ago and it was published last year.

Here is the abstract:

Two Sensor Motion Models for the Dynamic Sensor Coverage Problem

The allocation of sensors is a significant problem in surveillance, search, and tracking, with applications ranging from sea to space. The widespread development of unmanned systems provides new opportunities for these platforms to serve as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets, pulling information from the battlefield into the global information grid. This paper incorporates ideas from automatic control, stochastic processes, and optimization to solve a sensor coverage problem. The solution methods developed might be used to give unmanned air vehicles the capability to make autonomous path planning decisions, or to help a mission planner determine the number of target areas that could be covered by a single ISR asset.

You can google the paper, but I am going to be honest if you don't have an overwhelming desire to decipher technical writing you will be completely lost.

The award will be given at the MORS annual conference in June. Unfortunately, this is the same week we already planned our vacation and it doesn't look like he will be able to make it to the conference. Anyways, just wanted to brag on him for a bit. Thanks for reading!
