Mission Critical Technology
The Technology Office enables the development of technologies that address long-term challenges and emerging issues within Lincoln Laboratory’s core mission areas. To maintain an awareness of evolving national security problems and applicable technologies, the office interacts regularly with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and other government agencies. Five areas are the focus of R&D in this investment portfolio:
- Cyber security
- Information, computation, and exploitation
- Integrated systems
- Optical systems technology
- RF systems
