Back in the 1990s, I completed an MBA night program at Northeastern University's suburban campus in Burlington, just north of Boston. On my recent visit to the campus, I was stunned to find a completely transformed facility that used to only house a few classrooms and email library. Now it is the state-of-the-art Northeastern University Innovation Campus at Burlington MA (ICBM) that hosts the Kostas Research Institute and Hortheastern University Expeditionary Cyber and Unmanned Aerial System (ECUAS) Research and Development Facility along with labs and startup Incubator facilities. The ECUAS facility provides a suite of capabilities for science, engineering, technology development, test and evaluation on advanced systems across all readiness levels. It is a platform to spur innovation in cyber systems, electromagnetic systems, navigation and timing systems, autonomous systems and flight systems for ground and air autonomous vehicles. The facility consists of both indoor and outdoor test ranges for evaluating autonomous aerial and ground systems, antennas, cyber, radio, network, navigation and communications equipment.
