TACTICAL SYSTEMS
In the Tactical Systems mission, Lincoln Laboratory focuses on assisting the Department of Defense to improve the acquisition and employment of various tactical air and counterterrorist systems. The Laboratory does this by helping the U.S. military understand the operational utility and limitations of advanced technologies. Activities focus on a combination of systems analysis to assess technology impact in operationally relevant scenarios, rapid development and instrumentation of prototype U.S. and threat systems, and detailed, realistic, instrumented testing. The Tactical Systems area is characterized by a very tight coupling between the Laboratory's efforts and the DoD sponsors and warfighters involved in these efforts. This tight coupling ensures that the analysis that is done and the systems that are developed are relevant and beneficial to the warfighter.
