**About the Editors**

**Andrzej Stateczny** is Professor at Gdansk Technical University Poland and President of Marine Technology Ltd. His research interests are mainly centered on navigation, hydrography, and geoinformatics. Current RF research activities include radar navigation, comparative navigation, hydrography, artificial intelligence methods focused on image processing and multisensory data fusion. He has been the Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator in a wide range of research projects in both civil and defense fields. He has published or presented over 200 journal and conference papers in the above areas, including numerous books such as "Radar Navigation", "Comparative Navigation", "Methods of Comparative Navigation", and "Artificial Neural Networks for Marine Target Recognition". He has headed many research projects and supervised the completion of 16 doctoral theses.

**Krzysztof Kulpa** received his M.Sc., Ph.D. and D.Sc. degrees from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) in 1982, 1987 and 2009, respectively. From 1985 to 1988, he was employed at the Institute of Electronic Fundamentals, WUT. From 1988 to 1990, he was an associate professor at the Electrical Engineering Department of the Technical University of Bialystok. From 1990 to 2005, he worked as a scientific consultant at WZR RAWAR. Since 1990, he has been a professor at the Institute of Electronic Systems in WUT. In 2014, he was appointed as a full professor by the President of Poland. Currently, Prof. Kulpa is the head of the Radar Technology Research Group and the Scientific Director of the Defense and Security Research Center at WUT. Prof. Kulpa's research interests are in the areas of the digital signal processing and radar signal processing. Specifically, his research interests include 2D and 3D maneuvering target tracking, maritime patrol radar, low RCS target detection and tracking, noise and passive radars and synthetic aperture radar imaging. His most recent research interest is that of airborne passive radars. Prof. Kulpa's work has been implanted in several radars produced by the Polish radar industry, and he was involved in the creation of the first Polish SAR system. Presently, he is involved in several research projects related to PCL, ESA and Noise radars, as well as SAR and ISAR imaging.

**Witold Kazimierski** is Associate Professor at the Maritime University of Szczecin, Poland. He serves as Chair of Geoinformatics in the Faculty of Navigation. He used to work at sea as a navigational officer and as an offshore hydrographer. He graduated from the Research and Innovation Management Course at University of California, Berkeley. He leads a research team in various projects focused on spatial data processing and analysis. His main research activities cover anti-collision systems, radars, data fusion, sensor integration, hydrography, and the use of artificial intelligence in the aforementioned areas. He has published or presented around 100 journal and conference papers and acts as reviewer for numerous international journals and research agencies. He has been the Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator in a wide range of research projects which he has also chaired in some cases. He holds 2 patents as a co-author of anti-collision and decision support systems for vessels. He has also recently been focusing on autonomous surface and underwater vehicles.
