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 Large-Area Coverage Optical Search-while-Track and Engage (LACOSTE) program, with the objective of wide-area persistent tactical tracking in severe urban environments and the Flow-Based Information Theoretic Tracking (FITT) program reformulating the basic functions for tactical tracking algorithms to achieve a 100-fold improvement in target track-life.

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. Prior to SAIC, Mr. Clark worked for 12 years at the National Security Agency.

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