The Instructors
William Dale Blair, principal research engineer with Georgia Tech Research Institute, received his B.S. and M.S. in electrical engineering from Tennessee Technological University and his Ph.D.
from the University of Virginia. He has led a multiorganizational team in the development of multiplatform-multisensormultitarget tracking benchmarks for both air defense and ballistic missile defense and is responsible for coordinating the testing of the tracking processing algorithms for the ballistic missile defense system. An IEEE Fellow, his research interests include radar-signal processing and control, resource allocation for multifunction radars, multisensor resource allocation, tracking maneuvering targets, and multisensor integration and data fusion. Dr. Blair is co-editor and co-author of Multitarget-Multisensor Tracking: Advances and Applications III, and editor in chief of the Journal for Advances in Information Fusion.
Philip West, Georgia Tech Research Institute principal research engineer, has been working on radar-signal processing, radar-target tracking, emitter geolocation and ECM design since 1983. He has published more than 25 technical papers, book chapters, and reports on EW and radar development. He earned his B.S.E.E. from the University of Maryland at College Park, and his M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology.
