The Lincoln Laboratory Seminar Series, hosted on campus by the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE), brings engineers and scientists to the MIT campus to provide students and faculty an opportunity to hear about ongoing and emerging work at Lincoln Laboratory.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory conducts research and development aimed at solutions to problems critical to national security. Three areas constitute the core of the work performed at the Laboratory: sensors, information extraction, and communications. Specific research at Lincoln Laboratory includes projects in air and missile defense, surveillance technology, biological-chemical defense, and communications and information technology. Researchers take projects from the initial concept stage, through simulation and analysis, to design and prototyping, and finally to field demonstration. Lincoln Laboratory also undertakes government-sponsored, non-defense projects in areas such as the development of systems that the Federal Aviation Administration relies on to improve air-traffic control and air safety and systems that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration uses in weather surveillance.
