Research Shaping the Future of Software for a Better World.
Overview
Software-reliant systems and networks are vital to U.S. Army operations. When designed using the best architecture, development, and security practices, these systems provide improved lethality, better situational awareness, secure operation, high reliability, and increased maintainability.
The SEI is a DoD federally-funded research and development center (FFRDC) operating as part of Carnegie Mellon University. We focus specifically on software-related security and engineering issues.
Our mission is to support the Nation’s defense by advancing the science, technologies, and practices needed to acquire, develop, operate, and sustain software systems that are innovative, affordable, trustworthy, and enduring. We serve as a value-added broker of R&D to customize, develop, and adapt software and cybersecurity technologies for the measurable benefit of the DoD.
The SEI is positioned on the front lines of software, cybersecurity, and AI engineering R&D, providing credible, independent advice and applying technologies to enable programs to overcome significant challenges across the acquisition lifecycle.
The Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute is a DoD Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC). We focus specifically on software-related security and engineering issues, AI engineering, and many other areas of computing, working to introduce private-sector innovations into government.
