CYBER WARFARE
Our Cyber Warfare research focuses on the protection of DoN and DoD networks, devices, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and innovates new methodologies and tools in securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. LEARN MORE
ELECTRONIC WARFARE
Used in modern warfare to gain strategic advantage, electronic warfare and radar research provides technology and techniques to aid in jamming, counter-jamming, spoofing or confusing enemy operators and weapon systems. LEARN MORE
POWER ELECTRONICS
Our research in power electronics branches from our electrical engineering program and focuses on the conversion, control, and management of electrical power, essentially transforming electrical energy from one form to another. LEARN MORE
ECE RESEARCH CENTERS
Research conducted by ECE faculty covers a wide range of defense-related areas ranging from electronic warfare, cyber systems, and advanced information warfare systems, to microgrids and shipboard electric power. These research projects are conducted in coordination with the following centers:
The Center for Cyber Warfare (CCW) is an interdisciplinary problem solving research center in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. The CCW faculty work in collaboration with other universities and innovative commercial companies to deliver basic and applied research solutions to the Navy, U.S. government, DoD, and intelligence communities.

The Center for MultiINT Studies (CMIS) is an interdisciplinary research center in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California. CMIS faculty and staff have a rich and diverse educational background that include but not limited to electrical and computer engineering, physics, mathematics, operational research, computer science, mechanical engineering, and oceanography. CMIS also works in collaboration with US government, DoD and DoE agencies, as well as academic institutions to solve to solve mission critical problems that face the Navy, DoD, and intelligence communities.
