Institute Partners with Federal Agencies and Defense Companies on Key Projects
The Kyl Institute for National Security at the University of Arizona connects federal agencies and defense companies with university scientists, engineers, and researchers to develop solutions for national security problems. The institute’s areas of research include space, hypersonics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, and it produces tangible results, including hypersonic wind tunnels that industry partners use to run tests. According to Gen. Robin Rand, the institute’s president and CEO, the work is more important given unrest around the world, and it brings high-level research jobs and money into Tucson. This development was reported by an unknown source.
