A team of science and engineering researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU), Louisiana Tech University (LaTech) and Grambling State University are among 24 recipients of advanced science and engineering grants announced on March 28, 2008 by the United States Defense Department. In all, grants to researchers at the two dozen institutions totaled $15.7 million, according to the Pentagon release.

This new award to Louisiana is for research work in the area of cyber warfare, a start to fulfillment of predictions that cyber will bring research dollars amounted to $761,368 to Louisiana. Professor Sitharama Iyengar, chairman of the computer science department at the LSU System's main campus, will lead this research project entitled "Secure and Survivable Cyber-centric Sensor Networks: Algorithms and Architecture Research," for the Office of Naval Research in the period 2008-2011.

The other scholars in this team to co-conduct the research are Professor Hsiao-Chun Wu from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, LSU, Professor Seung-Jong Park from Department of Computer Science, LSU, Professor Vir Phoha from Department of Computer Science, LaTech and Professor Yenumula Reddy from Department of Computer Science/Mathematics, Grambling State University. This proposed research will aim to design a novel intelligent sensor network to serve the military warfare needs and can play a crucial role for the future US Navy maneuvers in the three-dimensional battlefield.
