Promoting Innovative R&D for Today and the Future
Investments cultivated and managed by the Technology Office support the development of new Mission Critical Technology for national security. Impactful projects in Emerging Technology, many of which take a decade or more to come to fruition, push the very frontiers of technology development. We also focus on fostering Innovation and Collaboration, both of which are essential to sustaining long-term technical excellence and relevance. The Artificial Intelligence Group, under the direction of the Technology Office, was recently established to advance R&D in AI being conducted across all Laboratory areas to expand capabilities to meet a broad spectrum of needs. We are also leading a Laboratory-wide effort to advance Climate Change Technology for National Security.
Technology Office Investment Focus
The Technology Office enables the development of technologies that address long-term challenges and emerging issues within Lincoln Laboratory’s core mission areas. To maintain an awareness of evolving national security problems and applicable technologies, the office interacts regularly with the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and other government agencies.

Finding People Under the Rainforest Roof with Lidar
Lincoln Laboratory is exploring the feasibility of building an airborne sensing system to detect the presence of humans under dense tree canopy.
CLIMATE MODELING / IMPACT PREDICTION / CLIMATE OBSERVATION
Advanced Sensing for Hydrological Metrology
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.
CLIMATE MODELING / IMPACT PREDICTION / CLIMATE OBSERVATION
Compact Optical Salinity Sensor
We are developing a compact and encapsulated optical salinity sensor to enable more distributed and persistent monitoring of the ocean’s 3D structure.
