Arizona State University (ASU) is transforming its Global Security Initiative into the Advanced Capabilities for National Security Institute (ACNSI) to enhance national security research. With a threefold increase in defense-related expenditures since 2018, ASU is on track to reach nearly $100 million in Department of War funding this fiscal year. The institute will focus on interdisciplinary research in cybersecurity, AI, biosecurity, and space, while continuing collaborations with U.S. military branches and addressing emerging security challenges.
