MIT Lincoln Laboratory researches and develops a broad array of advanced technologies to meet critical national security needs. What sets us apart from many national R&D laboratories is our focus on building operational prototypes of the unique systems we design. The Engineering Division is at the heart of these prototypes.

The Rapid Prototyping Group (https://www.ll.mit.edu/r-d/engineering/rapid-prototyping) (77) specializes in the rapid development of hardware and software for early program design iterations. Our primary objective is to minimize time to prototype deployment, which allows for more extensive field experiments and higher quality design revisions. Typically, the timeline for delivering advanced technology concepts is under a year. We lead and coordinate various project activities: design and fabrication of mechanical and electrical systems; payload integration for aircraft platforms; and laboratory field testing.
