Biography

R. Glenn Wright holds a BS in Electrical Engineering, MS in Computer Science and PhD in Maritime Affairs with 45 years of industry experience leading research in sensor- based systems for surface vessels and unmanned underwater vehicles, meteorological and oceanographic data systems, and the automated testing of electronic equipment. He is also a master mariner and research vessel captain investigating meteorological, oceanographic, and electromagnetic phenomena and sensor data fusion, with direct knowledge of ship operations and the application and usefulness of the foundational technologies involved. This book complements his book Unmanned and Autonomous Ships, also published by Routledge.
