DevCom funds University of Tennessee research involving Leidos
What happened
The Nanoengineering Center at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga received a $600,000 award from a U.S. Army research project. This project involves collaboration between the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and UTC. Leidos is also participating in the work, which is supported by the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, or DEVCOM.
