Shawn Herman's Email & Phone

Shawn and his group support the Missile Defense Agency's National Team through Numerica's development of the Multiple Hypothesis Correlator (MHC) and BMDS Launch Event Associator (BLEA) under the Command, Control, Battle Management, and Communications (C2BMC) program. Numerica's C2BMC algorithms play a critical role in the integration of individual missile defense systems, giving key decision makers the real-time information they need for global situational awareness. Shawn and his team also tackle a variety of interesting and challenging R&D problems in related areas, including sensor and communications resource management, battle management, bias estimation, and information fusion. Before joining Numerica as a research scientist in 2002, Shawn designed algorithms and performed research at Lucent Technologies and Lockheed Martin Mission Systems. Shawn has published papers on speech recognition, joint tracking/classification via particle filters, bias estimation and mitigation, and ambiguity assessment of data association decisions.
