New technology aids hurricane response
Lincoln Laboratory staff deployed tools to help FEMA plan evacuations, monitor storms, and assess the damage wrought by Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.
 |
The 2017 hurricane season was catastrophic. Hurricane Harvey, plaguing Texas with floods, was followed quickly by Irma, whose winds battered Florida and the Caribbean. Hurricane Maria then raged upon Puerto Rico and other islands already reeling from previous storms. In the buildup and aftermath, Lincoln Laboratory quickly assembled teams and technology to aid federal agencies in managing these disasters.

Lincoln Laboratory staff captured first-of-their-kind infrared images of solar eclipse
The images can help further our knowledge of the Sun's mysterious corona.
 |
The team from Lincoln Laboratory's Advanced Imager Technology and Active Optical Systems Groups recorded the August 2017 solar eclipse with the Laboratory-developed digital-pixel focal plane array (DFPA) camera. The DFPA camera took images of the eclipse in the mid-wavelength (3–5 μm) and long-wavelength (7–9 μm) infrared.

Ground-based system helps UAVs avoid collisions
The award will enable the expansion of the Laboratory's Defense Fabric Discovery Center.
 |
The Ground-Based Sense-and-Avoid (GBSAA) System provides guidance that allows unmanned aircraft systems to steer clear of other aircraft. Data gained from existing radars are processed by unique algorithms; the system can locate and prioritize the risk from all aircraft, and then issue alerts to the pilots of the UAS at risk, and compute the optimal avoidance maneuver.

New technology gives early warning of exposure to disease-causing pathogens
The enabling algorithm uses non-invasive physiological data to predict the probability of viral or bacterial exposures.
 |
The PRE-Symptomatic AGent Exposure Detection (PRESAGED) algorithm uses real-time physiological data, such as heart electrical activity, breathing rate, and temperature, to calculate the probability that a person has been exposed to a virus or bacteria. This technology could lead to effective early treatment of patients and faster, more confident implementation of public health measures in the event of a disease outbreak.

ORS-5 SensorSat launched to monitor activity in the geosynchronous belt
Satellite developed at MIT Lincoln Laboratory will fulfill a critical need for space situational awareness.
 |
The ORS-5 SensorSat spacecraft launched aboard a Minotaur rocket in August is on a 3-year mission to continually scan the geosynchronous belt. Data collected by SensorSat will help the United States keep a protective eye on the movements of satellites and space debris in the belt.

Using machine learning to detect fake news
MIT Lincoln Laboratory staff developed algorithms that use text, images, and html metadata to determine the reliability of a news article.
 |
Since the 2016 presidential election, awareness of fake news has soared. With its power to erode the public's ability to make informed decisions, fake news poses a serious threat to our national security. To combat this threat, the Lincoln Laboratory Technology Office hosted the "Fake Media" Hackathon, which challenged teams of staff to use machine learning to automatically detect fake media content.
