TESS's cameras, which will monitor planets passing in front of stars, were designed and built by Lincoln Laboratory engineers. Illustration: Chester Beals
space
A new planet hunter will spend the next two years searching for exoplanets, including those that could support life.
Researchers test the prototype standoff microwave imaging system. The antennas emit radio signals that reflect off the person standing in front of the array; the system processes the reflections to create the image on the monitors in the background.
advanced imaging
The system can rapidly and discreetly detect threat items concealed under clothes or hidden in bags of people in crowded public spaces.
PANDA's replay log files are compact and shareable, allowing for repeatable experiments. For example, a nine billion instruction set is represented by only a few hundred megabytes.
cyber security
An open source platform helps analysts quickly reverse engineer large, real-world binary systems to better analyze how software executes.
Commercial unmanned aerial systems, like the one pictured above, are increasingly flown in urban areas; if used for illicit purposes, they can pose dangers to civilians.
UAS
The prototype is enabling DHS to test technologies that can counter the threats posed by commercial drones.
The Laboratory's advanced work in miniaturized electronics enabled the development of EnteroPhone™.
biomedical
A wireless, ingestible device monitors heart and breathing rates by listening to the body's sounds and senses core temperature, all from within the gastrointestinal tract.
The commercial chest strap is equipped with the Laboratory-prototyped sensor hub. The sensor hub takes physiological measurements, which are used to estimate a strain index. This index indicates if the wearer is at risk for a heat-related illness.
biometrics
New sensors that gather data on a soldier's physiological state can help prevent heat-related injuries.
Lincoln Laboratory personnel Joseph Zurkus, left, and Jacob Huang, right, operate a protected tactical waveform modem and collect data while Ted O'Connell, back, monitors terminal equipment during flight testing.
satellite communications (SATCOM)
Satellite communications technologies enable the U.S. military to maintain connectivity in the field.
The GPS antenna farm provides the laboratory with live-sky access to GPS satellite signals.
GPS
We conduct research on the performance and vulnerability of GPS devices embedded in military and civilian systems.
