CCI SWVA autonomous systems research goes beyond robots — it seeks to secure ways we interpret information, regulate processes, and develop machine learning techniques. Our engineers and scientists work to defend the pathways of information in unmanned aerial vehicles, vehicular networks, deep learning in robotics, autonomous teams, and more.

CCI SWVA defense in-depth research programs focus on:

  • Building autonomous mission computing systems that can ensure privacy-preserving and secure communications with trustworthy data in the presence of adversarial attacks
  • Utilizing microgrids for autonomous delivery of secure energy
