The DoD said yesterday that the grants will cover 26 topic areas in basic science and engineering, part of the DoD's Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program. In Southern California, the California Institute of Technology received three grants, the University of Southern California received two, and UC Santa Barbara received one grant. The projects covered by the grants at Caltech included image recognition, mechanics of marine structures, and embedded systems.
