Advanced Mathematics Applications (AMA)
Metron’s AMA tackles the most demanding inference and decision support problems across the spectrum of research, development, and solution deployment.
Metron’s Advanced Mathematics and Applications (AMA) Division is a proven performer across the spectrum of research and development. We deploy solutions for some of the most difficult real-world problems.
Proven Results
Our solutions stand the test of time and allow for a continued stream of improvement and enhancements as our users needs evolve.
AMA brings an eclectic blend of traditional and modern techniques to provide solutions that are effective in support of the end users and affordable for sponsor budgets. Our commitment to principled application of mathematics, physics, engineering, and exploiting advances in technology means we are effective in solving problems, often when others have failed.
AMA is composed of a diverse mix of mathematicians, physicists, engineers, computer scientists, software engineers, and experts in STEM areas. Our multi-disciplinary team allows us to swarm problems from multiple perspectives, applying human-centered design (HCD) principles throughout our solution development.
We are relentlessly focused on creating solutions that fit the end user’s needs. We listen. And we tailor our products to support the transition to operations.

Bradley S. Moskowitz, Ph.D.
Director
I came to Metron from a much larger company and I’ve always appreciated the small-company feel here. My background is in applied mathematics and software development. Since joining, I’ve taken leadership of our work to support the U.S. Navy with state of the art tracking and fusion algorithms along with innovative user interfaces to display probabilistic information in an intuitive form.

Terence J. Bazow, Ph.D.
Director
I started as a Research Scientist at Metron not long after completing my doctorate in Applied Physics. As my role has grown from contributor, to manager, and then to director, the work at Metron has remained both interesting and challenging. I now oversee a team responsible for research and development of advanced algorithms, information processing, sensor exploitation and systems engineering for manned and unmanned platforms.
