Shaping the future of software for a better world.
Our Mission
We establish and advance software as a strategic advantage for national security. We lead and direct research and transition of software engineering and related disciplines at the intersection of academia, industry, and government.
We cannot expect success fighting tomorrow’s conflicts with yesterday’s weapons or equipment. […] We will […] invest in cyber defense, resilience, and the continued integration of cyber capabilities into the full spectrum of military operations.
