Naval Research Laboratory Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research

Naval Research Laboratory, Code 7200

Remote Sensing Division

The mission of the Naval Research Laboratory Remote Sensing Division is research and development utilizing remotely sensed information or leading to remote sensing systems for applications to the earth's environment in its broadest sense. Because of the Naval Research Laboratory's unique position, this means that it is the Department of Defense's (DoD) center of excellence for remote sensing technology and its applications. Applications to the atmosphere, ocean and land surfaces, and the celestial background include meteorology, background and propagation effects upon systems, increased understanding of ocean and atmospheric processes and their interactions, effects or modulation of the environment by targets, determination of reference frames and other natural environmental phenomena relevant to national security. The effort includes development of environmental sensors, data and signal processing technologies, unique utilization of existing sensors, fundamental investigations in ocean, atmospheric and astrophysical sciences, and modeling and simulation of environmental processes.
