A schematic showing links between small uncrewed aerial vehicles and ground vehicles.
sensing
Combined quantum networking and lasercom optical signaling techniques could impact advanced sensing applications such as geolocation with distributed systems.
an image of a jet streaking across the sky, with contrails being left behind
climate
With MIT AeroAstro, we are developing forecasts and decision support tools to aid air traffic controllers in avoiding the formation of persistent contrails, which are increasingly considered to have a substantial impact on climate warming.
A small sensor being adapted for the methane-detecting network
climate
Deploying large networks of ground-based methane detectors could help detect pipeline leaks, improve climate models, and regulate emission sources.
A schematic showing the Earth with many satellite links.
satellite communications (SATCOM)
Large constellations of satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) allow for unparalleled global coverage but require new networking approaches.
A prototype reflectarray faces a feed horn in an anechoic chamber.
communications
A low-cost, reconfigurable radio receiver architecture provides an alternative approach to filter out unwanted transmissions in millimeter-wave (MMW) signals.
A schematic of a plane equipped with a lidar detecting humans under dense tree canopy.
lidar
Lincoln Laboratory is exploring the feasibility of building an airborne sensing system to detect the presence of humans under dense tree canopy.
an illustration showing earth from space, with a drone, graphs showing data collection, and improved models overlaid on top.
climate
With Alabama A&M University, we are identifying opportunities to apply new remote sensing concepts to improve groundwater measurements and models.  These models can inform decisions related to agriculture, land use, human health and wellness, and geopolitical stability.
