Louis Pittard is Vice President of Operations for CCRi.  He is responsible for all facets of the company’s operations including financial, security, project development, and contract administration. Mr. Pittard has 20 years of experience using C and C++ to solve significant problems on platforms ranging from personal computers to parallel supercomputers. His areas of specialization include operations research, real-time systems, evidence-based reasoning systems, pattern recognition, and clustering.
 
Mr. Pittard has contributed to a variety of significant projects at CCRi. He led a team that created a large-scale tracking system that cross-correlates millions of observations from disparate sources daily and operates in super-real time on historical databases.

For another project, he developed a tracking system that combined sparse tracking algorithms for exploiting nonstandard and complex data with a Bayesian framework for reasoning about target identity.  In conjunction with other CCRi staff, he developed an object-oriented, imagery fusion system for DARPA’s Dynamic Database (DDB) program. Mr. Pittard also led the effort to develop software for scheduling yard resources for the Hong Kong International Terminal (HIT).  The software searched for optimal job assignments for all the resources in the yard and employed advanced artificial intelligence techniques.
