Explore the featured projects and deliverables, which are organized within four key themes to demonstrate NSRI's commitment to providing the DOD and USG:
In a world where adversaries enthusiastically develop technologically advanced devices and strategies, it is critical for the defense enterprise to proactively formulate solutions now to mitigate future attacks. Researchers embedded in the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) and the University of Nebraska System’s (NU) four campuses continue to elevate capabilities toward new agile solutions — and new uses for existing solutions. During this period, projects launched through NSRI fit this need and delivered promising products to end users.
In this reporting period, the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) and the University of Nebraska System (NU) collaborated with partners from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and the U.S. Government to convene broad expertise and knowledge for a deeper understanding of impending key national security challenges and potential solutions. Engaging in and facilitating interdisciplinary, interagency teams allowed NSRI to hone in on priorities, determine forward actions and integrate resources across its mission space.
The National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) and the University of Nebraska System (NU) are known for their rapid response capabilities. By quickly expanding and delivering skills, research and resources, NSRI and NU support the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Government in adapting to real-world events and managing evolving national security scenarios. In this period, NSRI and NU provided several deliverables to improve real-time action of responders and decision makers.
During this reporting period, researchers from the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) and the University of Nebraska System (NU) leveraged data and training expertise to create and elevate tools, systems and experiences for leaders and end users in the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Government. The goal is to simulate critical, real-time decisions — and then support data-backed, skill-based decisions with confidence in the field.
