Dennis M. Buede Executive Principal Analyst and President
 

     Dr. Buede has over twenty-five years of experience in both the theoretical development and engineering application of decision support technologies. This experience has addressed military and business decision problems, as well as multisensor data fusion technology. These applications have fallen in the areas of resource allocation, R&D priorities, mission area analysis (or strategic planning), requirements definition, system design, system acquisition, and system development. Dr. Buede has managed projects funded by the National Science Foundation, Army Research Institute, numerous Army and Navy development commands, and the National Security Agency. He is a Fellow of the International Council on Systems Engineering, 2001.
