The SKA Experiment
APL developed and tested the sensors for the Missile Defense Agency’s Spacebased Kill Assessment (SKA) system, currently on orbit and executing planned test events.
The Systems Approach to Saving Lives
APL’s thought leaders are stirring discussions on the importance of taking a systems approach to health care.
TIMED
For nearly two decades, the Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) mission has explored the gateway between Earth and space.
Tracking Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Using a combination of machine learning, satellite imagery, and localized emissions data, APL advances its accurate, scalable, and easily configurable greenhouse gas monitoring framework for road transportation.
Uncrewed Surface Vessel Perception
International regulations for preventing collisions at sea require vessels to operate within certain distances based on the visual identification of other vessels.
Van Allen Probes
A mission to explore Earth’s harsh radiation belt environment and the dynamics of geomagnetic storms.
Visible Light Communications
For the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), APL is developing mission concepts and integrating operational prototypes of visible light communications capabilities in the Department of Defense—helping DISA enhance data security and alleviate demands on the limited radio frequency spectrum.
Wave Glider Demonstration
For the first time, we used the commercially developed Wave Glider to demonstrate how quickly the Navy can field new sensor systems.
