Communication systems
In Communication Systems, Lincoln Laboratory is working to enhance and protect the capabilities of the nation's global defense networks. Emphasis is placed on synthesizing system architectures, developing component technologies, building and demonstrating end-to-end system prototypes, and then transferring this technology to industry for deployment in operational systems. Current efforts span all network layers (from physical to application), with primary focuses on radio-frequency military satellite communications, free-space laser communications, and line-of-sight networking.
