Defense Technology Lecture Series: Communications Systems and Technology R&D at MIT Lincoln Laboratory

In this briefing, we will review communication systems and technology R&D underway at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. We will begin with an overview of communication system basics including modulation, demodulation and forward error correction. We will follow with a discussion on low probability of detection (LPD) tactical communication links, radio frequency satellite communication (satcom) and optical communication (lasercom) systems. Each of these topics will review system drivers, resiliency considerations and examples of recent prototyping efforts undertaken by the Laboratory.
