WASHINGTON — Howard University has become the first Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to partner with the Pentagon for military technology research featuring a five-year, $90 million contract.
The research center is the first Department of Defense university research center sponsored by the Air Force and will focus on tactical autonomy, according to president of Howard University Wayne A.I. Frederick.
Howard University produces more African-American undergraduates who later earn science and engineering doctoral degrees than any other university, according to the National Science Foundation. Austin said that the students who graduate from HBCUs are the “power that our country needs.” The tactical autonomy focus includes support of cyber defense and automation of maneuverability and mobility, said Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, in the announcement.
