Hello again Israel,

This came to me courtesy of Dr. Lawrence Stone of Metron, Inc.,
www.metsci.com. Dr. Stone is COO and his biographical page says in
part:
Lawrence D. Stone
Chief Operating Officer
Dr. Stone joined Metron in 1986. His work has included modeling the
operational Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) effectiveness of nonacoustic
sensors, developing tactical decision aids for ASW search and
localization, and participating in a National Science Foundation
project to apply search theory to oil exploration. He was the
technical and project manager for the development of a
multiple-target, nonlinear, correlator-tracker, NodeStar, designed for
use in the Navy's Integrated Underwater Surveillance System. He
continues to perform research in the area of non-linear data fusion.
He was the principal investigator on an ONR contract to investigate
the foundations of data fusion and worked on another ONR contract
under which Metron developed a system to jointly estimate clutter and
target state. This system was applied to tracking periscopes in heavy
clutter caused by waves. He has recently co-authored the book Bayesian
Multiple Target Tracking, published by Artech.
In 1986, he produced the probability maps used by the Columbus America
Discovery Group to locate the S.S. Central America which sank in 1857,
taking an estimated 400 million dollars of gold coins and bars to the
ocean bottom one and one-half miles below.
Dr. Stone is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. The
Operations Research Society of America awarded the Lanchester Prize to
his text, Theory of Optimal Search, published by Academic Press. Dr.
Stone was codirector of the 1979 NATO Advance Research Institute on
Search Theory and Applications in Faro, Portugal, and coeditor of the
conference proceedings, Search Theory and Applications. He has
published numerous papers in search theory, taught the subject at the
Naval Postgraduate School, and has participated in many search
operations. He has also published papers in probability theory,
optimization, and data fusion.
Dr. Stone worked at Daniel H. Wagner, Associates from 1967 until 1986.
He became a Senior Associate in 1970, Vice President in 1974, and
Senior Vice President in 1985. He managed their Washington, D.C.
office from 1984 to 1985 and their California office from 1981 to
1984.
Dr. Stone rendered seven weeks on-scene assistance to the U.S. Navy in
the 1974 search for unexploded ordnance in the Suez Canal. He
participated in the development of the Coast Guard's computerized
search and rescue planning program, CASP. During the 1968 search for
the remains of the submarine Scorpion, Dr. Stone provided on-scene
analysis assistance for six weeks near the Azores. Based on this
experience, he coauthored a fleet manual for use in deep ocean search
Education:
Bachelor of Science, Mathematics, Antioch College, 1964
Master of Science, Mathematics, Purdue University, 1966
Doctor of Philosophy, Mathematics, Purdue University, 1967
The biography by Morse appeared in a book who's title is cut off on
the first page, but was copyright 1982 Operations Research Society of
America, pages 417-426.
I hope this is helpful to you.
Kind regards,
