Lectures of Opportunity: "Defense Technology Lecture Series: Communications Systems and Technology R&D"

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.

About this Lecture

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory (MIT/LL) "Defense Technology" lecture series will be conducted at the U.S. Naval War College by experts from the world-renowned MIT/LL.

MIT/LL research scientists will provide five LOOs in September and October covering these topics: Cyber Security Threats and Technologies, Military Space, Artificial Intelligence, Communication Systems, and Autonomous Systems. Please check back for changes to upcoming dates and venue.

Please Note: Students and faculty who attend the entire series will receive an MIT/LL certificate of completion.
