Dr. Stacey F. Jones is a computational scientist specializing in space domain awareness, advanced analytics, and AI-driven decision systems for national security and space operations.
With a foundation in mathematics, computational science, and engineering, her work focuses on integrating multi-sensor data—including radar, infrared, and electro-optical systems—to enable accurate detection, tracking, and characterization of objects in complex orbital environments.
Dr. Jones is the CEO and Senior Research Scientist at O Analytics Incorporated, where she leads the design and development of advanced analytics platforms supporting Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and Space Domain Awareness (SDA). Her work includes systems for autonomous navigation, high-fidelity orbital modeling, and predictive behavioral analytics for space objects.
Under her leadership, O Analytics has delivered multiple Department of Defense-funded programs, including technologies for:
- Space object detection, classification, and behavioral analysis
- Autonomous navigation in GPS-denied and contested environments
- Super-resolution object characterization in low Earth orbit (LEO)
- High-fidelity orbital propagation and trajectory modeling
Dr. Jones has contributed to over $50 million in federal contracts, grants, and research programs supporting the Department of Defense, NASA, and allied organizations.
In 2025, she was appointed as U.S. Co-Chair of NATO STO Technical Team SCI-349, focused on heterogeneous data-driven space domain decision intelligence.
She is also the inventor of a patented method for space object detection based on a fast kinematic construct approach, advancing the accuracy and efficiency of space surveillance systems.
Prior to founding O Analytics, Dr. Jones held engineering and leadership roles supporting defense and aerospace systems development, including work on radar systems, infrared surveillance platforms, and command and control architectures.
Supporting Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Domain Awareness (SDA), and emerging In-Space Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing (ISAM) missions.
