Building the Future

UCLA & Raytheon to break ground


Law Officer Volume 7 Issue 3 | From the March 2011 Issue Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Raytheon Company has given a seed funding of $1 million for three years to UCLA for its partnership to create a new Public Safety Network Systems Laboratory.  The mission of this laboratory is to bring together academia, industry and public safety agencies to provide technical leadership to perform collaborative research and to establish standards for public safety networks based on the 4G LTE standards.  Other public and private organizations that meet the membership requirements of UCLA will also be invited to join the Laboratory.

“The selection of UCLA for this partnership was an obvious choice,” says Daniel Crowley, president of Raytheon Network Centric Systems. “Not only is UCLA one of the world’s great research universities with numerous Nobel Prizes and National Academy faculty, the university is a long-standing world leader in radio communications networking technology.”  

The co-directors of the Laboratory are Distinguished Professor Kung Yao and Distinguished Professor Izhak Rubin of the Electrical Engineering Department in the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science.
