CYBER COMMUNITY

Cyber Innovation Center (CIC)

Bossier City, Louisiana is home to the Cyber Innovation Center at the National Cyber Research Park. This state-of-the-art research park focuses on protecting our nation’s interest by becoming the leader in cyber infrastructure research and technology development. The CIC, working very closely to the Cyber Combat Development Center, serves as a conduit between local, state and federal agencies, private industries and academic institutions, building a knowledge-based economy that supports cyber initiatives, education and workforce development. More information can be found on the CIC website.

General Dynamics – GDIT (Formerly CSRA)

General Dynamics is a global aerospace and defense company. From Gulfstream business jets to submarines and wheeled combat vehicles to communications systems, people around the world depend on its products and services for their safety and security. General Dynamics is the anchor tenant in the National Cyber Research Park, which previously housed CSRA.

Louisiana Tech Research Institute (LTRI)

LTRI focuses on supporting the defense and intelligence communities by advancing applied research across three core areas: cyber, resiliency, and energy. LTRI gives the National Cyber Research Park (NCRP) and North Louisiana a tremendous competitive advantage. The Louisiana Tech Research Institute (LTRI) is the formal recognition of the existing and productive partnership efforts between Louisiana Tech University and the Cyber Innovation Center (CIC). The goal of LTRI is to (1) enable Louisiana Tech University and CIC to secure new work (and thus jobs) in new ways from both industry and defense partners, (2) ensure critical work and personnel remain at Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB) by providing the US Air Force with next-door access to a dedicated R&D/applied research center, (3) build focused competencies to attract talent and industry, and (4) serve as the official home for cyber-, defense-, and intelligence-related education, training, and workforce development programs for North Louisiana.
