The IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society proudly presents Dr. Simon Haykin, a Distinguished Lecturer for the global AESS society. Dr. Haykin will travel from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada to present his research over the past year on Cognitive Radar, a subset of the Cognitive Dynamic System discipline he has developed. The Cognitive Radar in Dr. Haykin’s research closely mimics the visual brain! Practical attributes of Cognitive Radar from an engineering perspective will be discussed.
Dr. Haykin has dedicated his research over the past year to Cognitive Dynamic Systems, including Cognitive Radar and Cognitive Control. During this event, he will concentrate on the Cognitive Radar portion that closely mimics the visual brain. Specifically, the following will be covered:

• The four principles of cognition: perception-action cycle, memory, attention and intelligence, each one of which will be carefully defined.
• Structural composition of Cognitive Radar that will build on these principles, and the role of each principle will be addressed.
• To demonstrate the information-processing power of the Cognitive Radar and its novel control capability, an air traffic control example with deep-corner turn for the experiment will be used. The unique capability of Cognitive Radar will thus be demonstrated using computer simulations.
• With target tracking as the objective, the important properties of the new Cubature Kalman Filter, developed in Dr. Haykin’s lab, will be highlighted.
