Homeland Protection
Katahdin Hill
A portion of Lincoln Laboratory's Homeland Protection work is performed at our Katahdin Hill facility adjacent to Lincoln Laboratory. The radar shown here on a tower at the Katahdin Hill site captures a view of the Boston airspace.
The Homeland Protection mission is supporting the nation’s homeland security by developing technology and systems to help prevent terrorist attacks within the U.S., to reduce the vulnerability of the U.S. to terrorism, and to minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks. Current sponsors for this mission area include the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and other federal, state, and local entities. Efforts include architecture studies for the defense of civilians and facilities against potential biological attacks, development of the Enhanced Regional Situation Awareness system for the air defense of the National Capital Region, development of cyber-security technology for critical homeland infrastructure protection, and development of collision-avoidance technology to enable the use of unmanned aerial vehicles.
