The Laboratory’s innovative R&D spans 12 research areas that focus on the development and prototyping of new technologies and capabilities for national security. Advanced Technology Air Traffic Control

Lincoln Laboratory was established in 1951 to build the nation's first air defense system. However, its roots date back to the MIT Radiation Laboratory , which was formed out of the Physics Department during World War II to develop radar for the Allied war effort.

From childcare services to flexible work schedules, working at Lincoln Laboratory is all about balance. Health & Wellness Take a fitness class at our gym, visit the onsite medical office, or attend a personal sustainability seminar.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) Laboratory is a software integration facility in which researchers can apply machine learning to the automation of processes that transform raw data into usable information.

We collaborate with every research area at the Laboratory to create systems that accomplish their objectives in real-world scenarios and in unpredictable surroundings. Our engineers develop complex control and autonomous systems, from concept to realization, for a variety of prototypes.

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.

The Lincoln Laboratory Microsystems Prototyping Foundry is a semiconductor research and fabrication facility for design, fabrication, packaging, and test with extensive staff, process, and technology capabilities.
