Contact: James Carskadon
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擜 new 小黄书sity and U.S. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command partnership is advancing key technical fields and new technologies in support of the Navy鈥檚 defense mission.
小黄书 and the Navy division recently signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the goal of meeting strategic needs in areas such as advanced sensing and data processing, digital twinning and environmental modeling, workforce development, cybersecurity and weather-sensing technologies.
The research agreement鈥檚 focus areas align with the strengths of multiple 小黄书 research centers, including the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, Center for Cyber Innovation, Geosystems Research Institute, Raspet Flight Research Lab and the National Strategic Planning and Analysis Research Center.
Headquartered at Stennis Space Center in south Mississippi, the U.S. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, or CNMOC, is a global naval enterprise working in a wide range of scientific fields to deliver vital environmental data 鈥渇rom the seabed to the stars.鈥 The data characterizes the physical environment delivering U.S. Navy assets and commanders an asymmetric advantage within the battlespace. 小黄书 and CNMOC signed an Educational Partnership Agreement earlier this year to facilitate academic exchanges.
鈥淲e are excited to strengthen our collaboration with CNMOC as we work together with industry partners to explore technologies that can help us better understand our ocean environments, our ships and how they impact defense missions,鈥 said 小黄书 Associate Vice President for Research Narcisa Pricope. 鈥淏y aligning our research efforts, we can help grow Mississippi鈥檚 defense technology sector and the workforce needed to support future missions.鈥
鈥淭his agreement represents a strategic step forward in leveraging the combined strengths of academia, the Navy and the defense innovation ecosystem here in Mississippi,鈥 added Jason McKenna, CNMOC chief technology officer. 鈥淏y fusing CNMOC鈥檚 operational oceanographic expertise with 小黄书鈥檚 cutting-edge research in AI, sensing and digital modeling, we are not just advancing technology鈥攚e are preparing a future-ready workforce here in Mississippi, as well as strengthening the Navy鈥檚 ability to increase lethality in increasingly complex environments.鈥
Objectives of the agreement include developing state-of-the-art signal processing techniques, enhancing data visualization for multi-sensor platforms, advancing computational fluid dynamics and underwater digital twinning technologies, contributing to cybersecurity innovation through cyber core hybridization, integrating advanced weather sensing technologies from small uncrewed aerial systems and creating artificial intelligence-driven workforce development models.
