The University of Texas at San Antonio is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through research and discovery, teaching and learning, community engagement and public service. San Antonio is the second-largest global cyber hub in the United States. Locally, UTSA and the NSCC have established relationships with many facets of the Air Force and Department of Defense including the 16th Air Force, Joint Base San Antonio and the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. “The emergence and application of new technologies opens up possibilities for convergence research to tackle intractable problems,” said Bernard Arulanandam, UTSA vice president for research, economic development, and knowledge enterprise. The MATRIX AI Consortium will support development of innovations using artificial intelligence models created and operated with data from the emerging technologies of 5G, IoT,and IIoT that are resilient to adversary attacks. There will also be enhanced research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to solve the Air Force’s operationally relevant challenges and be engaged with integrated research teams that span government, industry and academia.Īt the same time, the NSCC will collaborate with UTSA’s many research centers and institutes to support AFRL’s mission. The research and development projects will be managed by John H. Huggins, the NSCC’s technology officer. It will specifically address challenges in 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and their applications. This contract will enable collaboration in research and development in varied disciplines such as data sciences, cloud/edge computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and cybersecurity. Cyber Command, Walsh has cultivated strong federal relationships and continues to work with the national director of cybersecurity, Joint Base San Antonio and DHS Cyber and Critical Infrastructure Security Agency. This most recent collaboration with the AFRL will directly support research and workforce development for the 16th Air Force in San Antonio as well as the broader Air Force community. In his previous roles as a close air support combat pilot and commander and strategist with U.S. Over the past two years, Walsh has led UTSA's growth of the NSCC ecosystem which now includes more than 60 federal, academic and industry partners. The relationship and scope of work will be managed by the National Security Collaboration Center (NSCC) at UTSA under the direction of Brig. This collaboration will advance translational research in these domains, serve the needs of our students and those of our nation, and advance our collective knowledge overall,” said UTSA President Taylor Eighmy. “Our long-standing research relationships with our various military branches, particularly the Air Force, helps address grand challenges in cyber and national security.
