Over the next 40 years, Mitre was behind the scenes of now-famous air surveillance technologies such as the Airborne Warning and Communications Systems (AWACS) and the Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (STARS). It also played a significant role in the development of much-used tech like GPS and the commercial airline Traffic Collision Avoidance System. Today its remit is even wider, leading all manner of cybersecurity initiatives and healthcare projects, while sticking to its core role of protecting national security. |
