MITRE History Moments: Command & Control in the Air and Undersea
June 2008
Over the past 50 years, MITRE has made significant contributions to command and control programs in our nation's defense. As the anniversary of our founding nears, we take a look back—and peer forward—at some of these achievements.
Team
Achieves Worldwide Consensus on Protecting Spectrum for Testing
New Aircraft
May 2008
Radio-frequency spectrum may not be at the top of everyone's list
of pressing issues, but its importance cannot be underestimated.
So when the World Radiocommunication Conference met last year to
debate new rules governing the use of spectrum, MITRE was there.
Nano
Lab's Tools Address Government Needs
April 2008
In MITRE's Nanotechnology-Biotechnology Laboratory, the scale of
the subject matter may be vanishingly small, but the lab's capacity
for experimentation is growing continuously.
Keystoning
Improves Radar Resolution for Tracking Targets
March 2008
A smeared radar image is of little use to anyone, particularly
when lives might be at stake. Fortunately, the Keystone algorithm,
developed by MITRE engineers, can be used by a variety of advanced
radar systems to provide clarity where it's most needed.
Marines
Get the Data Despite Disruptions
May 2007
The Marines have an unusual problem—sometimes their operations
outrun their communications. But thanks to a MITRE-developed solution
called "disruption-tolerant networking," the Marines can maintain
continuous communications even under the worst of conditions.
Ready
for Prime Time: Putting the Byte on Crime and Terrorism
January 2007
You may be familiar with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service
from the popular TV show "NCIS." But in real life, an
NCIS service known as LInX is equally impressive in how it uses
information sharing to help catch the bad guys. And MITRE is "on
set" to keep the project on track.
