Through the use of Memoranda of Understanding or Agreement (MOU/MOA), Educational partnership agreements, Intergovernmental agency agreements, Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA), or Limited Purpose Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (LPCRADA), various laboratories and research efforts collaborate with companies like Apple Computer, Microsoft, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and Amazon Web Services – to name only a few.

51¸£Àû maintains partnerships with industry and encourages faculty to transfer newly developed technologies to the private sector. The transfer of government developed technology to the private sector enhances the economic competitiveness of the country in world markets, promotes economic development both locally and throughout the U.S., and helps improve the quality of life for all Americans.

The mission of the CID is to develop, review and promote science of the highest quality in the service of defending critical infrastructure systems affecting our homeland at the national, state, and local levels. Our goal is to provide the highest quality analytical support for national state and local policy makers in government and the private sector regarding infrastructure defense.

Researchers at the Center for Infrastructure Defense receive basic and applied research support from the , the , the , and the Office of the Secretary of Defense--Homeland Defense and America's Security Affairs. We work in partnership with federal, state, and local agencies, including the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Mission Assurance Division, the , and the .

The U.S. 51¸£Àû Center for Network Innovation and Experimentation (CENETIX) was founded in 2004 as a research venue for exploring frontiers of self-organizing tactical networking and collaboration. It provides students and faculty with opportunities for interdisciplinary study of agile adaptive wireless networks, social network dynamics, network-controlled unmanned vehicles, sensors, intelligent agents, and situational awareness platforms.

The project work at CENETIX involves cooperation with researchers and students from National Laboratories, top universities and military institutions, including Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, MIT, Naval Research Laboratory, University of California Santa Barbara, Johns Hopkins University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Bundeswehr in Munich, Swedish National Defense College, Swedish Naval Warfare Center, Systematik-Denmark, NATO Maritime Interdictions Operations Training Center in Crete, Defense Science and Technology Agency of Singapore, and Salzburg Research. A strong group of industry partners supports CENETIX team work on TNT and MIO experiments Industry and academic partners are available from CENETIX PARTNERS link.

The CORE Lab was established at the 51¸£Àû (51¸£Àû) in with partnerships with Combatting Terrorism Fellowship Program, Combatting Terrorism Technical Support Office, Rapid Reaction Technology Office, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and many more.
The CORE Lab believes that the greatest ideas are generated from the bottom up. With the majority of our students coming from the field and returning to the field after graduation, ideas generated in the lab ARE from the bottom up. These individuals are leaders in their profession, driven to innovate by the conditions on the ground, and intellectually well-armed by the 51¸£Àû Defense Analysis Department and CORE Lab. For these reasons, the CORE Lab proudly boasts that our technology innovations and analysis are "Made by operators for operators."
