LSU and Army and Cyber Command (ARCYBER) have entered into a formal agreement to cooperate on advanced research, prototype development, education and training and technology transfer.
ARCYBER is subcomponent of the U.S. Cyber Command and is the military’s top hub for data processing and data-related research. It is responsible for defending Army networks, facilitating cyberspace operations and providing critical intelligence to Army and Joint Force Commanders.
According to LSU’s official press release, “The partnership with LSU will be led by ARCYBER’s Cyber Technology and Innovation Center (ArCTIC), an Army Technology Transfer Program-approved laboratory responsible for research and capability development.”
Building on LSU’s 2022 designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) by the National Security Agency, the agreement provides for shared access to university and command facilities, a joint pursuit of critical defense research initiatives and other initiatives aimed at bolstering national security.
LSU President Wade Rousse has lauded the agreement as a major step forward for university research.
“LSU’s proud military legacy is core to our identity as an institution,” he said. “The partnership with U.S. Army Cyber Command underscores our research excellence, and more importantly, offers our students and researchers an incredible opportunity to translate their technical knowledge into real-world results.”
ARCYBER officials have also celebrated the partnership.
“This partnership with LSU demonstrates our dedication to uniting diverse talent, innovative ideas and advanced research to enhance the Army’s cyber readiness,” Lt. Gen. Christopher Eubank, commanding general of U.S. Army Cyber Command, said. “By collaborating directly with LSU’s students, faculty and researchers, we are fostering relationships that will drive innovation and equip the next generation of cyber leaders….
