Lincoln Laboratory
Abstract
(U) The Lincoln Laboratory program (LL Program) is an advanced technology research and development effort conducted through a cost reimbursable contract with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The LL Program funds advanced research activities that directly lead to the development of new system concepts, new technologies, and new components and materials, with impact in several core technologies: (U) Advanced Electronics Technologies, with emphasis on development of materials, devices, and subsystems utilizing microelectronic, photonic, biological, and chemical technologies to enable new system approaches to DoD sensors. (U) Advanced Optical Communications, focusing on extremely efficient, free space optical communications links. (U) Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance, including the development of novel active and passive RF and electro-optic sensors useful for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications. (U) Netcentric Operations, with an emphasis on developing and demonstrating the key technologies that will enable composable and dynamic multi-mission net centric operations on the Global Information Grid. (U) Decision Support, with the goal of developing and demonstrating fundamental technologies and architectures supporting real time decisions across large, dynamic, heterogeneous data sets. (U) Homeland Protection, with the objective of developing and demonstrating an architecture and the key technologies that support homeland protection. (U) Counter Terrorism, aimed at developing technologies useful in the war on terrorism. (U) Technical Initiatives, including biological sciences to aid the warfighter, promote public health, and develop tools for biological research; cybersecurity technologies to develop new techniques for the protection of systems against cyber attack and exploitation; robotics technologies with the objective of developing mobile, autonomous, robotic platforms that demonstrate key capabilities needed for a wide range of defense applications; and quantum information sciences to develop basic technologies that support the storage, transport, and computation of quantum information.
