Mitre Corporation
The MITRE Corporation is a not-for-profit organization based in Bedford, Massachusetts and McLean, Virginia. MITRE operates federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) to provide the United States government with support for systems engineering, research and development, and information technology. It manages FFRDCs for the Department of Defense, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
MITRE was founded in 1958 and grew out of the computer laboratories of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory Division 6 during World War II. The United States Air Force began to develop an air defense system, which became known as SAGE (Semi-Automatic Ground Environment). IBM was chosen to build the computer elements of SAGE and, as MIT decided that this project would best be administered by an outside entity, MITRE was founded to oversee the project. MITRE officially opened on July 17, 1958 with Robert Everett as technical director and John Jacobs as deputy technical director. Clair “Hap” Halligan served as the first President and H. Rowan Gaither was the first Chairman of the Board of Trustees. After the SAGE project, MITRE would go on to assist with the creation of the NATO Air Defense Ground Environment and NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), working with NORAD staff to support the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System.
