Mr. Pollock is widely regarded as a pioneer in the area of sensor technology, and authored over 25 publications in the field. He served as editor of the Countermeasures Volume of the EO/IR Systems Design Handbook, and was a chief concept designer of one of the first broad beam, incoherent arc lamp-based infra-red countermeasures. In 1967, he was awarded a patent for a cesium arc source, the design of which is still the basis for lamps currently in production.
