He will give an IEEE Aerospace & Electronics Systems Society Disti nguished Lecture on Monday\, August 12. The technical program starts at 6: 30PM with refreshments and networking from 6:00 to 6:30.\n\nTechnical Abst ract:\n\nThis talk discusses the issues related to information extraction and data fusion from multiple sensors\, in particular\, from radars. The g oal of extracting the maximum possible amount of information from each sen sor requires the use of appropriate sensor as well as target models. In th ese models one has to quantify the corresponding uncertainties. The issues related to data association and multiple target behavior models are discu ssed together with some practical algorithms and their implementations for Low Observable targets\, with an example of early acquisition of a VLO TB M. The fusion of the information from various sources has to account for t heir uncertainties\nas well as the interrelationship -- crosscorrelations -- between the uncertainties across sources. The "Track-to-Track Fusion" a nd "Centralized Fusion" configurations are discussed.\n\nReference: Y. Bar -Shalom\, P. K. Willett and X.
