LGS' government communications laboratory and research for the U.S. government

In this paper we review some of the recent research in LGS's Government Communications Laboratory. In areas as far ranging as photonics, wireless/cellular systems, and Internet research, LGS is doing cutting edge work that solves important problems for the U.S. government. We review work on multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and distributed radio systems for military communications, gravitational wave detection, operating system fingerprinting and securing web mashups.
