    Talk Title: Illicit Trafficking Surveillance and Interdiction: INTEL and METOC-informed Decision Guidance

    Series: CS Seminar Series

    Abstract: Many Navy problems can be cast as a variant of "I have some assets with various capabilities and constraints that I need to distribute tomorrow in order to best carry out my mission. Which of them should go where and do what?" Factors that influence the decision include available intelligence information, an understanding of the adversary's expected behavior, and the environmental conditions. This talk will describe a general approach that has been applied to the pirate problem, illicit (drug) trafficking, and anti-submarine warfare. It will also include a discussion of challenges associated with working with users and transitioning research projects to operations.
