About

CDIS is the result of a close collaboration between KTH and the Swedish Armed Forces. Before long, the Swedish Defence Research Agency, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, the Defence Radio Establishment, and the Swedish Defence University, also joined. The research center is part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH.

A steering group of partner representatives oversee the center. Pontus Johnson is the center manager and is responsible for the day-to-day operations, assisted by a management team of representatives from the partners and KTH.
