Education and career
Streit obtained his B.A. in physics and mathematics from the East Texas State University (now Texas A&M University–Commerce) in 1968. He then studied mathematics at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, obtaining his M.A. degree in it in 1970 as well as his Ph.D., eight years later, from the University of Rhode Island. Following graduation, he served as visiting scholar at the Department of Operation Research of Stanford University from 1981 to 1982 and from 1982 to 1984 was a visiting scientist at the Department of the Computer Science of Yale University. In 1989, Streit became a visiting scientist at the Department of Statistics of the University of Adelaide.[1]
He became Senior Research Scientist within the Senior Executive Service of the United States Naval Undersea Warfare Center where he developed applications and multi-sensor data fusion algorithms which will be responsible for the support of submarine sonar and combat control automation. During his service there, he wrote two books, one of which was later translate into Chinese. In 2012, Streit became president of the International Society for Information Fusion and following it, became a member of its Board of Directors.

Awards and recognitions
In 1999, the American Society of Naval Engineers had bestowed Streit with the Solberg Award for his significant engineering research and development in sonar array research and acoustic transient signals as set forth in the following.[2] He was also named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2012[3] for his contributions to multi-target tracking, classification, and sonar signal processing.
