Facilities

Lincoln Laboratory staff use the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Automation and Aviation Weather Decision Support Laboratories to test prototype systems for air traffic control and to collect weather data that will help inform improvements to flight safety.

The ASDF provides a space for various programs across the Laboratory to test prototype autonomous systems.

The Beaver Works Center supports project-based educational experiences that tap into the expertise and strengths of Lincoln Laboratory and the MIT School of Engineering.

A variety of Biosafety Level 2 laboratories support biological and chemical research and development at Lincoln Laboratory.

The BEAMM Lab allows staff to study biological tissue and its interactions with energy and technology.

The DFDC houses technology to develop advanced fibers and fabrics for defense applications.

The state-of-the-art facility supports the development of optoelectronic components, photonic integrated circuits, CMOS electronic integrated circuits, and hybrid electronic-photonic integration techniques.

In the Environmental Test Laboratory, Laboratory staff can test the operability and durability of prototype systems by placing these systems in simulated environments.

Staff at the Lincoln Laboratory Flight Test Facility operate several aircraft that research teams can employ to test their prototype airborne systems.

The Maryland Field Office at Fort Meade is an asset for the Laboratory's cybersecurity research and development efforts for the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.
