MISSION
VICEROY answers the call for defense readiness by increasing the number of new and upskilled mission-capable professionals available to fill critical cyber-spectrum research and operations positions within the DoD and vital industries and contribute on Day One.
The VICEROY Initiative was established in 2019 and is part of the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)) portfolio. The initiative receives funding through both OUSD R&E and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). VICEROY is a mission-focused cyber-spectrum leadership development pathway accelerating talent through foundational skills, experiential learning, and operational application. This initiative is facilitated and managed by the Griffiss Institute.
