Flourishing Radio Technology Lab Has Wide Impact
August 2008
When the U.S. Air Force mandated that all of its radios must comply with a specific communications architecture, they turned to MITRE. Our Programmable Radio Technology Lab now tests advanced prototypes and is helping this mission become a reality.
RCAT: Testbed for NextGen
August 2008
To test how the Air Force can operate in the National Airspace System in the Next Generation Air Transportation System, the Air Force's Electronic System Center has joined its RCAT lab with Raytheon's Network Centric Operations Integration Lab.
MITRE Arrives: July 1958
July 2008
The third week of July marks the founding of MITRE, a not-for-profit corporation dedicated to supporting national defense. We look back at 1958 on the occasion of our 50th anniversary.
AWACS: You've Got Mail
July 2008
Although AWACS and Joint STARS platforms have been around for decades, they continue to thrive. To make them even more useful, MITRE is central to the current initiative to bring these surveillance kingpins fully into the Internet age.
MITRE History Moments: Command & Control in the Air and Undersea
June 2008
Over the past 50 years, MITRE has made significant contributions to command and control programs in our nation's defense. As the anniversary of our founding nears, we take a look back—and peer forward—at some of these achievements.

Achieves Worldwide Consensus on Protecting Spectrum for Testing
New Aircraft
May 2008
Radio-frequency spectrum may not be at the top of everyone's list
of pressing issues, but its importance cannot be underestimated.
So when the World Radiocommunication Conference met last year to
debate new rules governing the use of spectrum, MITRE was there.
Nano
Lab's Tools Address Government Needs
April 2008
In MITRE's Nanotechnology-Biotechnology Laboratory, the scale of
the subject matter may be vanishingly small, but the lab's capacity
for experimentation is growing continuously.
Keystoning
Improves Radar Resolution for Tracking Targets
March 2008
A smeared radar image is of little use to anyone, particularly
when lives might be at stake. Fortunately, the Keystone algorithm,
developed by MITRE engineers, can be used by a variety of advanced
radar systems to provide clarity where it's most needed.
