Science and Technology
Science and Technology (S&T) is an important, future-oriented activity for APL. Basic and applied research and technology development provide the foundation for many APL programs and initiatives. By design, the S&T Business Area supports all of APL's business areas. It represents a strategic investment to ensure future technological support for our sponsors.
As part of a world-renowned research university, APL's S&T credentials are a key distinction within the defense and national security communities. The creation, identification, and application of technology enable many of the critical contributions that APL makes in solving complex problems. We also partner with other universities, peer organizations, and a small number of industrial organizations.
Within the Laboratory's business structure, the S&T Business Area is a principal source of technological innovation critical to meeting APL sponsor needs. It serves as a portal to technological expertise across, within, and external to APL. Part of that role is to "scout out knowledge" to ensure that programs have the technology support that enables APL to achieve its mission.
