  3. The team is assisting the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Analysis Center (DAC) by creating models, analysis tools, and simulations for various Army technologies, including the examination of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  4. Collaborative efforts include researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Mexico State University, with the project influenced by a paper from the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff titled “Joint Concept for Competing.”
