CIRI Director David Nicol and Executive Director Randy Sandone will meet with Lt. Gen. Broadmeadow, Deputy Commander of USTRANSCOM, on Sept. 25 to discuss collaboration opportunities. CIRI has been negotiating a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with USTRANSCOM that will allow the two organizations to test and validate research findings and capabilities developed at CIRI within USTRANSCOM’s real-world, global supply chain processes.
USTRANSCOM will benefit from identifying tools and capabilities that can improve the command’s mission assurance posture by strengthening the security and resilience of its mission-critical supply chain. USTRANSCOM represents an ideal real-world test bed for CIRI-developed capabilities, tools, and technologies – particularly those related to cybersecurity.
Lt.Gen. Broadmeadow is responsible for all research and development activities at USTRANSCOM.
