The Applied Physics Laboratory
(APL), a division of The Johns Hopkins
University, is a not-for-profit research
and development organization dedicated
to solving a wide range of complex problems
that present critical challenges to the
nation. Through advanced technology; highly
qualified, diverse teams; hands-on operational
knowledge; and a basic systems engineering
approach, APL achieves affordable, effective
solutions. APL's outstanding creative
staff and world-class facilities have
made the Laboratory a major asset to the
nation for more than six decades.
Our accomplishments encompass
a broad body of knowledge and technical
specialties including missile, radar,
sonar, sensor, chemical/biological, and
information technologies; space science
and engineering, microelectronics; communications;
navigation; modeling and simulation; advanced
research and technology development. APL's
record of achievement and extensive operational
experience, along with its independent
approach to analysis and problem solving,
have given us a national reputation for
excellence. Projects run from basic research
to full-scale operational testing, through
all phases of project life cycles. APL
fulfills a full range of sponsor needs
from long-term systems development and
evaluation to developing quick-reaction
missions and rapid prototypes for specific
needs.
