We hosted @repjeffcrank at our Colorado Springs site to share the important work #TeamMITRE is doing in Colorado and across the country.
Our teams highlighted capabilities and research in space warfighting, missile defense, cybersecurity, and modeling and simulation, along with support for industry innovation through our Space Domain Awareness Tools, Applications, and Processing Lab.
Thank you to Congressman Crank for taking the time to learn more about our work and the support MITRE provides to the warfighter by strengthening deterrence and lethality, and accelerating commercial solutions.

We’re closing out this year’s National Engineers Week with Miles Thompson — manager of the MITRE AI Lab who works to accelerate AI adoption while reducing real-world risk.
Miles’ career focuses on advancing AI and autonomy with safety at the center, including prior leadership in autonomous vehicle validation. At MITRE, he brings that same rigor to public-interest applications. Miles collaborates across government, industry, academia, allies, and partners to speed innovation from the lab to operational reality.
In a recent Congressional Artificial Intelligence Caucus briefing on “AI for Safer, Smarter Roads,” Miles highlighted MITRE’s technical capabilities and leadership as a neutral convener, bringing stakeholders together to expedite trusted, secure AI through privacy-preserving data-sharing, rigorous analysis, and strong cybersecurity. That approach has been proven at scale, from PARTS and ATT&CK to ATLAS.
Engineering isn’t only about building what’s next — it’s about ensuring what’s next is worthy of trust.

Meet Judy Clapp — a MITRE pioneer whose impact spans generations of computing, and whose name now powers our future.
Long before today’s AI renaissance, Judy recognized what might be possible well before the speed, storage, and tooling existed to make it practical. Over a 46-year MITRE career, her work shaped the foundations of modern software engineering and large-scale system development.
Today, MITRE’s Federal AI Sandbox is where government teams develop, test, and advance AI-enabled capabilities securely. At its core is an @nvidia DGX SuperPOD — named “Judy” after this MITRE legend.
Judy’s story is a reminder of what’s possible when exploration, collaboration, and mission-first engineering are the standard. We know the “Judy” SuperPOD will inspire the next generation of breakthroughs and honor the woman who helped build the field.

Meet Brandt Lomen, an electromagnetic spectrum operations expert who helps strengthen the technologies warfighters rely on.
From resilient communications to position, navigation, and timing, spectrum-dependent capabilities are foundational to situational awareness and mission effectiveness. Brandt brings a systems mindset to a complex, contested domain. His focus: shrinking size, weight, power, and cost of advanced electromagnetic systems to enable wider availability..
Brandt recently invented a novel, low-cost technology to address an unmet military need. He assembled a cross-disciplinary team of radar, electrical, and mechanical engineers to rigorously test and prototype the capability. Collaborating with the U.S. government, the process took just six months. The technology was then transferred to both government and industry.
The Association of Old Crows recognized Brandt’s work with a Future 5 Award for professionals under 30 innovating in electromagnetic warfare and spectrum operations.
At MITRE, Brandt’s story reflects what engineering for public good looks like: accelerating commercial solutions, collaborating across sectors, and getting capabilities into the field faster.

Meet John Betz — a MITRE Fellow Emeritus whose work has advanced the GPS and position, navigation, and timing (PNT) ecosystem we all depend on.
John’s foundational research and technical leadership have influenced how our nation develops, modernizes, and protects PNT for both military and civilian use. Just this year, he was named to the Department of War’s new Science, Technology and Innovation Board.
In recognition of all his contributions, the Royal Institute of Navigation named him a Fellow for leadership in Global Navigation Satellite Systems development, compatibility, and interoperability.
One of John’s enduring legacies is a widely referenced report defining a national strategy for navigation and timing.

Meet Hannah Roberts — an early-career engineer already making global impact in counter-uncrewed aerial systems.
Since joining MITRE in 2023 at our Shaw AFB site, Hannah has contributed to mission-driven technology that helps protect people and operations from evolving drone threats. She supports CARPE Dronvm, a capability that can turn every warfighter into a counter-UAS sensor.
Hannah’s role spans the real work that makes fielded systems reliable. Her experience, from training and demos abroad to hands-on deployment support, shows what’s possible when engineering teams include new talent, invest in mentoring, and stay laser-focused on outcomes.

Meet Matt Fronzak — one of MITRE’s degreed meteorologists and a trusted voice at the intersection of aviation, weather, and operational decision-making.
Following a 34-year career at Delta Air Lines (including being the senior flight control manager on duty during 9/11), he joined MITRE to help translate evolving weather science into safer, more efficient aviation operations.
Weather still drives a majority of delays in the national airspace, and the aviation ecosystem is changing fast. Drones, advanced air mobility, and commercial space operations introduce new demands for microscale and high-altitude weather intelligence. Matt helps ensure the right information reaches the right decision points.
Matt often describes himself as a “connector of dots”— which is exactly what public-interest engineering requires: linking data, operations, and technology across stakeholders to deliver outcomes that serve the public good.

This National Engineers Week, we’re celebrating #TeamMITRE engineers past and present. We’re kicking off the week honoring Grace Hammonds — an engineer and mathematician whose work helped lay the foundation for modern cybersecurity.
Grace joined MITRE in 1973 after earning her master’s degree in mathematics from @georgiatech , where she and a fellow student were the institute’s first Black female graduates. At MITRE, she supported an Air Force project to expand the availability of trusted computer systems. Her work would shape how security is evaluated for decades.
In 1979, Grace published Proposed Technical Evaluation for Trusted Computer Systems (M79-225), laying out technical criteria to evaluate commercial off-the-shelf operating systems. That work became the basis for the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria, widely known as the “Orange Book,” the cornerstone of the “Rainbow Series” of security standards and guidelines.
Her contributions helped establish a common language for assessing trust, assurance, and security — concepts that underpin cybersecurity engineering today.
This is what engineering for public good looks like: rigorous standards, lasting frameworks, and progress that strengthens the security of systems people rely on every day.
