APL’s new Sea++ test vessel gives researchers and government sponsors a dedicated platform to rapidly test, evaluate, and demonstrate emerging maritime technologies in realistic operational environments. By enabling faster experimentation and more flexible on-water testing, Sea++ helps accelerate the development and transition of innovative capabilities for national security.

Scientists at the Lab are developing a portable quantum sensing platform using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy that has potential to enable warfighters and others working in contested environments to identify chemical and biological threats before they inflict damage.

Students from the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering (WSE) collaborated with researchers at APL to make maritime testing and optical sensing more accessible and cost-effective. Their work, part of WSE’s senior design mechanical engineering capstone, has various national security applications.

The seventh annual Cislunar Security Conference will convene leaders from government, industry, and academia to uncover the technologies, partnerships, and policies required to enable sustained operations, mission assurance, and space superiority across the cislunar domain. From space domain awareness and resilient communications to logistics, infrastructure, and security cooperation, participants will drive action today to shape tomorrow’s operational and strategic advantage in space.

APL’s Larry Paxton has been elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union. Throughout his career, Paxton has helped deepen scientists’ understanding of Earth’s upper atmosphere through pioneering space-based instruments and decades of research.
