Recent Advances in Computational Intelligence in Defense and Security

Abstract

This volume aims at consolidating and disseminating the role of Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques in the design, development and deployment of security and defense solutions. The book serves as an excellent guide for surveying the state of the art in CI employed within SSD projects or programs. The reader will find in its pages how CI has contributed to solve a wide range of challenging problems, ranging from the detection of buried explosive hazards in a battlefield to the control of unmanned underwater vehicles, the delivery of superior video analytics for protecting critical infrastructures or the development of stronger intrusion detection systems and the design of military surveillance networks, just to name a few. Defense scientists, industry experts, academicians and practitioners alike (mostly in computer science, computer engineering, applied mathematics or management information systems) will all benefit from the wide spectrum of successful application domains compiled in this volume. Senior undergraduate or graduate students may also discover in this volume uncharted territory for their own research endeavors.
