MARIAAN Helps the Air Force "Fight Through" Cyber Attacks
November 2009
MITRE's Mission Aware Reporting of Information Assurance for Airborne Networks is a cybersecurity solution that enables the Air Force to protect its enclave networks by fusing mission information with details on security breaches.
Beyond Vaccination: A New Platform for Treating Infectious Disease
November 2009
MITRE's Juan Arroyo and his team are working with the Medical University of South Carolina to investigate how innovative antibody therapies could become a viable alternative to vaccines during flu pandemics.
Blurred Images Bring Surveillance into Sharper Focus
July 2009
Researchers from MITRE's Computational Imaging for Persistent Pervasive Surveillance project are investigating ways to design better digital surveillance cameras. Their goal: to allow the freedom to manipulate the image data at either the optical end or the processing end, depending on the user's needs.
Hammering Out IEDs—Detecting Explosives with Biologically Inspired Research
June 2009
Taking a cue from the electroreceptory organs of certain marine animals, MITRE's "Biologically Inspired Sensing" project is exploring the use of dielectric spectroscopy—the analysis of how electrical charge builds up and migrates through different materials—to detect explosive materials such as those used in IEDs.
Neuromorphic Computing: Teaching New Brains Old Tricks
May 2009
Designing computers that think like humans is difficult because computers and humans process information in fundamentally different ways. Researchers at MITRE and elsewhere are working to build computers with brain-like properties by creating new kinds of algorithms and microprocessors that replicate the features of biological brain circuits.
Nanopower: Big Energy for Tiny Systems
May 2009
As the increased capabilities and decreased sizes of electronic devices demand more and more from their strained power systems, new technologies must be found to increase their power and energy capacities. MITRE and researchers worldwide are using nanotechnology to provide that boost.
REACT Fine-Tunes Air Force Capabilities Before Live-Flying
April 2009
You're planning a complex military operation that uses air, sea, and ground assets to track multiple moving targets. How do you examine the best possible scenarios without spending a fortune? MITRE's REACT and REACT Online tools allow commanders to quickly and inexpensively test various scenarios using realistic, high-definition animations.
Merging Data for Better Decisions Under Pressure
March 2009
Connecting military forces to each other in the battlefield is vital, but it's just as crucial to manage the sometimes overwhelming data flow. A team of MITRE engineers is developing a chat tool that helps users ferret out the most important information.
When Robots Go to War
March 2009
MITRE is using its experience in robot systems engineering to develop large robots that could be used by the U.S. Army in future conflicts.
The Dynamics of Decisions: Modeling Sudden Changes in Group Behavior
March 2009
Many factors come into play when people make decisions. MITRE's Modeling Phase Change Behavior project is conducting simulations to better understand how the interactions between individual decisions and group identity affect the behavior of that group.
Hunting Dangerous Genes, Inbox by Inbox
February 2009
MITRE's DOTS program comes to the aid of a DNA-synthesis industry that falls short in addressing the unfortunate reality that the deadly ingredients of bio-weapons are readily available to anyone by email or online.
Immersive Vision Gives the Best Control to Military Robots
January 2009 
Guiding robots into complex urban environments can test the abilities of even the most agile operators. But thanks to the MITRE Immersive Vision System, operators can now "see" through the eyes of their robots, making the machines more useful than ever for keeping soldiers out of harm's way.
Beyond Breadcrumbs: Leader-Follower Shows the Way
January 2009
MITRE is using its experience in systems engineering and integration to develop large-scale leader-follower robots that don't require drivers. Using these robot teams in military convoys could take soldiers out of danger when supply vehicles must travel through hostile territory.
