Rice University Secures $15 Million for Army Research Center on Wireless Technologies
Rice University has been awarded $15 million by the U.S. Army Research Office to establish a five-year research center focused on advanced secure sensing and communications. This initiative aims to enhance wireless systems through the development of large-scale antenna technologies and collaborative research across multiple disciplines.

Rice University will establish the Center for Large Aperture Secure Sensing, Imaging and Communications (CLASSIC) with a $15 million grant from the U.S. Army Research Office. The center, led by Edward Knightly, will focus on extremely large-scale antenna arrays (ELSAAs) to improve wireless communication and sensing capabilities in challenging environments.
Research will encompass various areas, including threat detection, resilient high-speed networks, and real-time AI modeling for electromagnetic environments. Collaborative efforts with universities and national labs aim to transition developed technologies into practical applications, potentially transforming secure communications.
