Roger Stuckey

Leading the design, construction and use of a Big Data infrastructure, including workstations for interactive analytics, processing and visualisation. Research into tactical manoeuvre recognition of ship tracks using time-series classification. Delivering computational support to analysis activities, supervision and training. Application of machine learning algorithms for data integrity, system characterisation, event detection and cluster analysis. Working with technical staff and external researchers.

Managed science and technology requirements for SRG, encompassing radar, electronic warfare and mission systems. Liaised with Defence stakeholders as well as academia and industry partners. Undertook technical evaluation of tools for data mining, tracking and fusion.

Conducted research and development on experiment design and Bayesian model selection of dynamic systems. Developed software tools for mission planning and control of multiple unmanned systems, including payload interfaces and real-time tracking.

Led several projects in maritime autonomy, including acoustic communications networks, unmanned maritime operations analysis and agent-based multiple vehicle cooperative mission control. Managed and coordinated teams for software development, operations and analytics.

Conducted research on terrain-relative navigation for AUV's. Developed a novel approach to real-time Terrain-Relative Navigation (TRN). Prototyped and demonstrated in simulation and subsequently implemented on a real vehicle equipped with bathymetric sonar.

Led software team to develop a framework for the simulation and analysis of area defence systems and scenarios using Monte Carlo experimentation. Multi-core, local cluster and Cloud extensions developed for distributed management and processing. Also contributed to development of a large scale, distributed, semi-autonomous simulation of the military battle-space. Provided training to staff.

Developed both high- and low-fidelity simulation models for flight vehicles, including helicopters slung-load systems for use in human-in-the-loop simulation environments and operational analysis. Built tools for reconstruction and 3d visualisation.

Planned and coordinated tasks, including deliverables, finance, staff, demonstration and training for clients, as well as subsequent advice and support.
