Rice University has received a $15 million Army Research Office award to establish CLASSIC (Center for Large Aperture Secure Sensing, Imaging and Communications) — a five-year research center focused on secure sensing, imaging, and communications. The center will develop advanced antenna technologies, particularly extremely large-scale antenna arrays (ELSAAs), through collaborative research across multiple institutions and disciplines. CLASSIC is directed by Edward Knightly with Ashutosh Sabharwal as co-principal investigator.
