Air and Missile Defense technology
In the Air and Missile Defense Technology mission, Lincoln Laboratory works with government, industry, and other laboratories to develop integrated systems for defense against ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and air vehicles in tactical, strategic, and homeland defense applications. Activities include the investigation of system architectures, development of advanced sensor and decision support technologies, development of flight-test hardware, extensive field measurements and data analysis, and the verification and assessment of deployed system capabilities. The program includes a focused evaluation of the survivability of U.S. air vehicles against air defense systems. A strong emphasis is placed on the rapid prototyping of sensor and system concepts and algorithms, and the transfer of the resulting technologies to government contractors responsible for the development of operational systems.
