“We’re looking forward to collaborating with this exceptional group of leaders,” said James Swartout, the center’s executive director. “We created the Center for Technology and National Security to enhance our engagement with our nation’s defense and security ecosystem, connecting it to the breadth and depth of MITRE’s thought leadership and technical capabilities.
