Center for Advanced Algorithms

Abstract

Major Goals: US Army personnel are heavily engaged in distant counter insurgency (COIN) operations that challenge conventional warfighting doctrine and technologies. Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) have become the weapon of choice of insurgents attacking American soldiers and nearly two thirds of combat-related deaths in Iraq have been caused by this type of munition. The Department of Defense (DoD) has funded research aimed at developing ultra wideband (UWB) radar and staring optical sensors to provide improved detection capability. Experimentation has demonstrated that despite high potential, new signal processing approaches will be necessary to minimize excessive numbers of false alarms. Delaware State University (DSU) along with our partners at University of Delaware (UDel) and Pennsylvania State University (PSU) believe we have the ability to deliver outstanding and relevant algorithms to enable new systems under development to reach the high performance our Warfighters demand and deserve. Thus we are pleased to offer the Center for Advanced Algorithms (CAA) whoseprimary goal is to exploit applied mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering to develop key enabling algorithms to support and improve remote sensor systems currently under consideration or already deployed to defeat IEDs.
