January 17, 2012 — The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has received a $1.5 million contract to produce an online environment that would let multiple design teams work together to develop new military vehicles. The VehicleForge project’s goal is to create a secure central website and other web-based tools and methods that would facilitate such collaborative development.
November 10, 2011 — Researchers at Georgia Tech are developing new approaches for identifying “insider threats” before an incident occurs. They are creating a suite of algorithms that can detect threats by analyzing massive amounts of computer data for unusual activity.
October 26, 2011 — Georgia Tech researchers have developed a prototype wireless sensor capable of detecting trace amounts of a key ingredient found in many explosives. The device, which employs carbon nanotubes, is printed on paper or paper-like material using standard inkjet technology,
October 19, 2011 — The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) has opened a new compact range that will be used for radar cross section measurements and antenna testing. The new facility, which is shielded against electromagnetic interference, will be used for GTRI’s defense-related research projects and collaborations with outside organizations.
Winter/Spring 2011 Research Horizons Magazine — Georgia Tech cybersecurity researchers are developing technologies and security strategies to enable the global cybersecurity solutions of the future. Their efforts span the areas of threat monitoring and analysis, mobile device and telephone security, secure information sharing, and U.S. government agency security.
September 6, 2011 — Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Alabama have received a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to conduct fundamental research into the ways in which plasmas interact with the walls of the structures containing them.
July 7, 2011 — Critical cyber-technology will be among the featured topics at the Military Open Source Software (Mil-OSS) organization’s Third Annual Working Group Conference scheduled for Aug. 30 – Sept. 1 in Atlanta. The conference is open to anyone utilizing or considering open-source/open technology to build military capabilities.
May 17, 2011 — The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate has named the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) to lead implementation efforts for the five-year, $10 million Homeland Open Security Technology (HOST) program.
May 16, 2011 — As part of a project sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, researchers are giving autonomous robots the ability to work together to explore and map the interior of buildings. Beyond soldiers, the capability could also help firefighters and other first responders.
April 25, 2011 — GTRI researchers are developing a radar technique they hope will allow them to quickly screen individuals to determine if they have suffered an impairment such as concussion.
