Defense & Intelligence

Moving innovations from the drawing board to the field

As a longstanding, trusted partner to the defense and intelligence communities, MITRE understands the complex landscape in which they operate. This well-informed grasp of their needs, missions, and constraints enables us to deliver solutions for some of the toughest problems facing our nation. And our federally funded, not-for-profit status means our advice is unhindered by conflicts of interest.

We’re developing next-generation signals processing technology, advancing cyber capabilities, and helping deter nuclear threats, among many other mission-critical projects. We’re improving acquisition processes by serving as a bridge between startups and the federal agencies that need the latest innovations. Through discoveries in artificial intelligence and autonomous technology, we’re improving speed and effectiveness, while reducing physical danger to humans.

We’re also deeply committed to countering risks posed by the Great Power Competition and to strengthening our national resilience. We’re taking on hostile disinformation campaigns, threats to defense-related supply chains, and disruptions to position, navigation, and timing systems.

Naturally, good defense depends on good intelligence. We work to ensure policymakers and warfighters get the targeted information they need, analysts can develop sound assessments, and military commanders can effectively anticipate and respond to threats on and off the battlefield.

MITRE’s solutions create architectures that facilitate action, platforms that provide unprecedented access, and systems both scalable and sustainable. Across the armed forces and federal agencies, we help the defense and intelligence communities move from the drawing board to the field, and beyond.
