MITRE is a U.S. not-for-profit organization that operates federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) and provides systems engineering, R&D, and technical expertise to government agencies, particularly in defense, intelligence, aviation, and cybersecurity. It develops and shares public resources such as the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base and conducts applied research in areas including AI/ML, cyber, and national security.
