Projects

High-altitude balloons used as beyond-line-of-sight relays would provide communications nodes if satellite communications could not offer coverage in contested environments.

A power-efficient application-specific integrated circuit system on chip that performs up to 2 trillion computations per second has potential for use in mobile communication systems.

A system that enables robust, long-distance communications between underwater vehicles exploits laser technology.

Emergency agencies around the world are using NICS to coordinate rapid and organized response to disasters.

The ILLUMA-T will enable optical communications on the International Space Station.

A system enables aircraft to replace a satellite communications network.

Satellite communications technologies enable the U.S. military to maintain connectivity in the field.

Lincoln Laboratory and MIT researchers are creating a shared quantum network test bed that will be used for developing and realistic testing of applications that take advantage of quantum science's potential to enable diverse, advanced communication, sensing, and computing systems.
