Mr. Timothy Clark

Mr. Timothy Clark is developing technology and systems for persistent surveillance, tracking, and engagement in all operational environments. Mr. Clark is the program manager for the Integrated Sensor Is Structure (ISIS) program developing low-power density apertures integrated into the structure of a stratospheric airship. This long-range persistent sensor is a significant leap in the state-of-the-art for AMTI and GMTI airborne sensors. Mr. Clark is also the program manager for the Low-Cost Cruise Missile Defense (LCCMD) program developing a low-cost active electronically scanned array (AESA) for an affordable all-weather RADAR missile seeker. LCCMD enables low-cost long-range missile interceptors perfectly complimented by the range and detection of the ISIS sensor. Most recently, Mr. Clark has initiated the Large-Area Coverage Optical Search-while-Track and Engage (LACOSTE) program with the objective of wide-area persistent tactical tracking in severe urban environments.

While at DARPA, Mr. Clark is focusing on Urban Operations, Tailored Tactical Surveillance, Countering Emerging Threats, and Space Situational Awareness, Control, and Reconstitution. Specifically, this includes wide-area tactical-grade GMTI in urban areas; asymmetric urban warfare; and responsive near-space. This will include technology development for regenerative light-weight energy systems, tracking dismounted enemy combatants, lightweight low-power-density X-band apertures, and large instantaneous field-of-regard EO/IR systems.

Mr. Clark came to DARPA from SAIC where he spent 6 years providing technical and programmatic support to several DoD agencies working advanced research and development. This work focused on radar and information fusion to support tactical engagement of moving and stationary targets.

Mr. Clark received his BSEE from Lawrence Technological University (1986) and his MS from The Johns Hopkins University (1995).
