Dr. Brian Leininger
Program Manager
Bio:
Dr. Leininger's technical interests include processor architectures for embedded exploitation, image processing, microsystems, and applications in reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting. He is the program manager for the Autonomous Real-time Ground Ubiquitous Surveillance - Imaging System (ARGUS-IS) and UrbanScape Programs. ARGUS-IS is developing a 1.8 Gpixel EO sensor capable of imaging more than 40 square kilometers at a ground sample distance of 15 cm. In addition to the Gpixel EO sensor, ARGUS-IS includes an airborne processing system with 70 teraOPS of processing and a ground processing subsystem. The goal of the UrbanScape program is to provide the warfighters patrolling an urban environment with an up-to-date, high resolution model of the urban terrain that can be viewed, manipulated and analyzed. The overall objective of UrbanScape is to make the foreign city "as familiar as the soldier’s backyard".
Prior to joining DARPA in 2006 Dr. Leininger was the Director, Advanced Technology for Lockheed Martin Maritime Systems and Sensors (MS2), and before that the Director, Research & Development for Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems. Earlier in his career he worked in a variety of capacities for Lockheed Martin, Loral, Unisys, and Sperry. Dr. Leininger has also held the position of Assistant Professor Computer Science, The Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. Leininger holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Minnesota and M.S. and B.S. degrees in mathematics from the University of Minnesota.
