“The adversaries and potential adversaries and challenges we face in the 21st century have global ramifications. Partners like the National Strategic Research Institute make sure we think about those challenges every day and make sure we’re doing business the right way. The collective intellect and legal expertise they have assembled, whether they work for the military, academia or industry are essential to that effort." General John E. Hyten , Commander, USSTRATCOM
“This partnership between the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) at the University of Nebraska (NU) and United States Strategic Command is an extraordinary development for our university, our state and our nation. The research being conducted at the NU campuses, as a result of the NSRI leadership and collaboration with the Department of Defense, strengthens our national security, enhances the critical defense system in place at USSTRATCOM and recognizes the world-class research at the University of Nebraska.” Dr. Hank Bounds , President, University of Nebraska
