Robert M. Kennedy (M'59) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, in 1959, the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, in 1963, and the Ph.D. degree in physical oceanography from Nova University, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, in 1978.

He has been active in programs in underwater acoustics since 1963 and has participated in a wide range of programs involving sonar system analysis, signal processing, and statistical signal analysis. He spent several years engaged in theoretical and experimental studies on the hydrodynamics and hydroacoustics of towed arrays, and more recently in the study of wave breaking phenomena related to the production of ambient noise in the ocean. Currently, he is on the Senior Technical Staff of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in the Test and Evaluation Department at the AUTEC Detachment in West Palm Beach. FL.
