Facilities

The Optical Systems Test Facility offers researchers four specialized labs for testing diverse electro-optic systems.

The Optical Terminal Verification Testbed (OTVT) is the nation's leading independent laboratory for testing free-space laser communications terminals against emerging interoperability standards and interface control documents.

We are studying methods to use trapped ions and Josephson junction–based superconducting circuits for large-scale quantum information processing.

The expansive Rapid Hardware Integration Facility houses machines and equipment that enable Laboratory staff to build prototype systems within a short timeframe.

The Reagan Test Site is a world-class range and test facility for technologies involved in long-range missile testing, missile defense, and space domain awareness. Lincoln Laboratory staff have worked at the Reagan Test Site for more than 60 years and now serve as the site’s scientific advisors.

The facility enables us to fabricate, integrate, and test in anechoic chambers RF systems to ensure they will work well in the field.

Researchers can replicate precise acoustic conditions and record acoustic data in the sound room.

Housing one of the world's most advanced immersive virtual reality laboratories, the STRIVE center enables our staff to work on new research and test technology in simulated environments.

The Laboratory fosters creativity by offering staff a well-equipped makerspace for experimenting with the construction of new inventions.

The Experimental Test Site (ETS) is an electro-optical test facility that Lincoln Laboratory staff manage for the U.S. Air Force.
