Marvin Kleine

Dr. Kleine oversees PSG’s research and innovation effort, focusing on advanced geospatial systems design and algometric solutions across the remote sensing spectrum. Spanning a 34-year career with Lockheed Martin, Dr. Kleine was selected as a corporate senior fellow for his research and expertise in developing operational mission solutions in the field of ISR sensor systems. Dr. Kleine is an expert in both SAR and EO sensor systems. As a researcher and principal engineer, Dr. Kleine has a proven record of developing and transitioning scientific research and innovations into operational tools and systems in support of the mission needs of the intelligence community. Dr. Kleine has very broad technical strengths in the areas of SAR and optical signal processing, ground processing architectures, advanced geospatial intelligence products, spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, data compression, radiation transfer modeling, and electromagnetic scattering and phenomenology. For the past 22 years in his role as chief scientist for LM Sensor Processing, Dr. Kleine has been responsible for the management, technology development, and productization of new capabilities to strategically position Lockheed Martin Corporation for the next generation of remote sensing systems and mission capabilities. He has worked the entire development cycle from concept, system requirements, system design, system development, and integration. Recent research activities are in the area of transforming unstructured imagery data for different sensor modalities into object-level information for high-order machine reasoning.
