University research has played a key role in developing technological tools that help the U.S. military keep supplies moving in "constested logistics" environments, where adversaries target supply routes, bases, infrastructure, and the data and networks that support them. These tools like AI-driven forecasting, drones, 3D printing, and localized energy systems make military logistics more flexible, reliable, and resilient.
Learn about biomanufacturing and its importance to the U.S. military, including how synthetic biology helps turn biomass into fuels, create jam-resistant bioelectronic components, and develop self-healing textiles.
Learn how decades of university-based research into artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of U.S. military operations, leading to the development of predictive technologies that more accurately neutralize threats, protect troops, and bolster national security.
