Air Traffic Control Since 1971, Lincoln Laboratory has supported the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the development of new technology for air traffic control. This work initially focused on aircraft surveillance and weather sensing, collision avoidance, and air-ground data link communication. Today, the program has evolved to include a rich set of safety applications, decision support services, and air traffic management automation tools. A focus of the current program is support for the FAA’s Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen). Key activities include the operation of a national-scale integrated weather-sensing and decision support prototype, testing and technology transfer of a runway incursion prevention system, development of a future air traffic control tower automation platform, and the development of a net-centric, system-wide information management system. Engineering Fundamental to the success of Lincoln Laboratory is the ability to build hardware systems incorporating advanced technology. These systems are used as platforms for testing new concepts, as prototypes for demonstrating new capabilities, and as operational systems for addressing warfighter needs. To construct the variety of systems used in programs across all mission areas, the Laboratory relies on its extensive capabilities in mechanical design and analysis, optical system design and analysis, aerodynamic analysis, mechanical fabrication, electronics design and assembly, control system development, system integration, and environmental testing. These capabilities are centered in the Laboratory’s Engineering Division, which is an important contributor to many of the Laboratory’s most successful efforts.
