MIT Lincoln Laboratory places a unique emphasis on building operational prototypes of designed systems. Its ability to turn concepts into field-worthy systems is supported by state-of-the-art facilities, such as a world-class semiconductor research and fabrication laboratory, an autonomous systems development facility, and New England’s fastest, most powerful supercomputing center.
Key to Lincoln Laboratory's mission as a federally funded research and development center is the transfer of its technology, as it collaborates closely with small businesses and industry partners to develop technologies that meet identified needs for both national security and civilian purposes. By harnessing the strengths of each partner, these partnerships enable innovative technology to benefit the world.
