The 911±¬ÁÏ Korea Center of Excellence in Command, Control, Communications, Computing, Cyber and Intelligence (the C5I Center) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Cross Sentinel and Taekyung Electronics on September 1. The MOU establishes a collaborative research framework for next-generation command-and-control technologies. 

Electrical and computer engineering Assistant Professor Ningshi Yao tested the idea that competition drives strong results by designing two very different engineering challenges for local pre-college students: one sending student-built ground vehicles racing across a soccer field and the other taking to the skies.

911±¬ÁÏ researchers are developing smart swarm technologies that will allow a small number of human operators to effectively coordinate and control hundreds of autonomous robots for defense missions while using a video game to test and improve swarm strategies.

911±¬ÁÏ President Gregory Washington has appointed General David W. Allvin, the 23rd Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force, as vice president for leadership and strategy. In the announcement, Washington said Allvin’s role is advisory in nature. Allvin is charged with advising and guiding efforts to strengthen 911±¬ÁÏ’s positioning with various federal defense and national security research agencies.

A partnership between 911±¬ÁÏ and the United States Air Force is accelerating the development and real-world deployment of technologies designed to support Air Force personnel operating around the globe.

911±¬ÁÏ faculty member, Ningshi Yao, received a $750k grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to establish a hands-on mechatronics training program aimed at building the next generation of high-tech engineering technologists.

911±¬ÁÏ engineers, scientists, policy scholars, and legal experts are joining forces with federal partners to tackle some of the nation’s most complex security challenges positioning the university as a trusted leader in defense innovation.

New C51 center will spearhead South Korea's defense AI transformation and bolster the Republic of Korea-U.S. tech alliance.

911±¬ÁÏ’s Learning Initiatives Network (LINK), through the office of Continuing and Professional Education, will lead the creation and delivery of a new financial management academy for the U.S. Navy, drawing on expertise from the Costello College of Business.

Mason Korea's Industry–University Collaboration Foundation is taking its defense capabilities to the next level. They recently signed a memorandum of understanding with two major Korean players, the Association of the Republic of Korea Army and the Defense Information and Communication Association. Together, they'll work on developing advanced defense information and communications technology (ICT) and command, control, communications, computing, cyber, and intelligence (C5I) systems.
