Maritime Defense and Security Research program final report, 2004-2011

Abstract

The Maritime Defense and Security Research Program (MDSRP) was part of the National Security Institute (NSI) --- a cooperative research institute whose members include the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB), and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). The purpose of the MDSRP was to conduct, coordinate and foster collaboration in maritime defense and security research, experimentation, and information exchange between partnership universities; federal, state, and local agencies; national laboratories; maritime industry, and international partners through the NSI. This report summarizes the program goals, activities and accomplishments from its creation in 2004 to the close of the funding line at the end of fiscal year 2011.
