Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory will help NASA study electric currents across Earth’s atmosphere as part of a potential $53.3M space exploration mission the agency plans to launch by June 2024.

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has received a $300M bilateral contract modification to perform additional systems engineering work for the U.S. Space Force.

William LaPlante, formerly a senior executive at Mitre, will assume the president and CEO roles at Charles Stark Draper Laboratory on Oct. 7.

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has secured a $90M U.S. Air Force contract to document analysis of capability-based systems used to maintain superiority in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Mitre has appointed five former defense officials to the advisory board of its Center for Technology and National Security that handles research and analysis activities on future warfare operations and emerging technologies.

Dawn Greenman, deputy program manager of cybersecurity at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), will serve on the “Implementing CMMC” panel at Potomac Officers Club’s CMMC Virtual Forum on Wednesday, June 24th.

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has appointed 24-year APL veteran Andy Oak as mission area executive for homeland protection.

Leonard Moss, a veteran national security leader, has joined Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as chief security officer and head of the security services department.
