Riverside Research

Through groundbreaking technology, we are revolutionizing national security at Riverside Research. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, we are chartered to advance scientific research in the public interest and for the benefit of the United States government. Our innovation focus is deeply embedded in our Open Innovation Concept, where we invest in multi-disciplinary research and development, fostering collaboration to accelerate technological breakthroughs and advance science. This approach allows us to move science from the laboratory to the field, delivering impactful solutions for some of the defense and intelligence communities' most complex challenges.

Our research and development efforts span a wide array of critical areas, including machine learning, trusted and resilient systems, optics and photonics, electromagnetics, plasma physics, radio frequency systems, and biomedical engineering. We are committed to securing systems as they interact in both physical and digital worlds, ensuring threats are detected quickly and neutralized while maintaining system control. Riverside Research supports highly technical Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) across land, sea, air, and space domains, contributing to mission assurance and advanced R&D. Furthermore, we play a key role in the development and operation of advanced radar systems for ballistic missile technical collection, defense, and space situational awareness. Our dedication to innovation is also evident in our recent acquisition of Cog Systems, a move designed to significantly enhance our cybersecurity and cryptography capabilities by integrating secure hardware and virtualization technologies with our cyber resilience and AI-driven security solutions. This strategic expansion will enable us to deliver integrated, defense-grade platforms that proactively mitigate emerging threats in mobile and IoT environments. We strive to be a premier national security nonprofit, providing independent, trusted scientific expertise and earning the trust of our mission partners through an unwavering commitment to timely, innovative, and cost-effective solutions.
