K-STREET, 10,000 FEET: MITRE’s Commitment to Progress: Tackling National Challenges Through Partnership
THE LOWDOWN:
The United States is at a critical crossroads, facing challenges that require bold innovation, strong partnerships, and a focus on national security.
To connect commercial solutions to big national challenges, the nation leans on organizations like MITRE, a nonprofit organization with deep technical expertise and a commitment to public good.
Additionally, MITRE has also created a partnership to transform the safe deployment of autonomous land and air vehicles for homeland security with Gambit.
As DHS continues to lead efforts to protect the homeland, MITRE’s partnership with DHS and its agencies serves as a model for leveraging public-private collaboration to achieve meaningful and lasting results to ensure the U.S. leads the world in innovation.
The United States is at a critical crossroads, facing challenges that require bold innovation, strong partnerships, and a focus on national security. For the nation to solve complex technical challenges, commercial innovation must be better integrated and aligned into solving the public interest problems faced by the U.S. government.
To connect commercial solutions to big national challenges, the nation leans on organizations like MITRE, a nonprofit organization with deep technical expertise and a commitment to public good. Without a profit motive, and with trusted technical expertise, MITRE is able to create partnerships that elevate products and strengthen the nation.
This need is evident today as the nation addresses threats, risks, and opportunities related to identifying unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). To accelerate innovation to market, MITRE created a partnership with Pierce Aerospace, a dual-use IoT and aerospace company that uses scientific research and experimentation to address real-world challenges from the increased use of unmanned systems. Pierce Aerospace’s remote ID sensors will be installed at a national drone range for remote identification and UAS-related research purposes. This will result in faster and more deployment-ready solutions that enhance homeland and national security.
Additionally, MITRE has also created a partnership to transform the safe deployment of autonomous land and air vehicles for homeland security with Gambit.
This commitment to innovation is exemplified through MITRE’s unique approach to collaboration. By harnessing its own resources and working closely with key federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Coast Guard, MITRE accelerates industry solutions to address some of the nation’s most pressing challenges. By connecting groundbreaking ideas with the tools and expertise needed to succeed, MITRE is shaping the future of innovation and ensuring critical technologies reach those who need them most. Investing in cutting-edge ecosystems like the MITRE National Range, BlueTech Lab, and Immersion Lab helps industry partners overcome barriers and accelerate solutions.
MITRE’s efforts reflect its dedication to ensuring that the United States remains the land of the free and the home of the brave. By working closely with federal sponsors, MITRE exemplifies the power of collaboration in addressing national challenges while catalyzing industry to innovate and thrive.
As DHS continues to lead efforts to protect the homeland, MITRE’s partnership with DHS and its agencies serves as a model for leveraging public-private collaboration to achieve meaningful and lasting results to ensure the U.S. leads the world in innovation.
