By joining the respective strengths of the partners in research and education, we have a synergistic combination of personnel and facilities. Other national and international institutions may affiliate with the NSI on specific collaborative projects.

By combining the exceptional talents of the personnel and outstanding facilities of these national institutions, we aim to leverage the existing expertise and experience as we seek to combine DoD–focused research and development for the national defense with Federal/State/Local-focused research and development for homeland security.

Some of the NPS researchers affiliating with the NSI at Monterey include:

• Distinguished Professor Dave Netzer – Technology insertion in field demonstration experiments
• Professor Alex Bordetsky (IS) – Innovative networks
• Distinguished Professor Bill Colson (PH) – Directed energy systems
• Professor Bret Michael (CS) – Software engineering in systems
• Professor Chris Olsen (PH) – Remote sensing
• Research Associate Jim Ehlert (IS) – Persistent surveillance
• Professor Phillip Pace (EC) – Innovative electronic defense

This listing is illustrative, not comprehensive. Other NPS and partner collaborators are invited to join the NSI’s efforts.

We look forward to the accomplishments of this Institute as we move forward together with our partners to enhance the defense and security of the United States.
