Year in Review 2007-2008: Goal 6: Anticipate threats with science and technology
The Laboratory is a research leader in a vast array of scientific and technical areas in national security. Homeland security has become a special focus of Laboratory research and development. A Lab-developed airport-screening device that detects and identifies liquids and gels is poised to enter real-world testing, while the Lab's aerial-borne chemical identification system responded to disasters and emergencies throughout the country. Meanwhile, Lab instruments and power supplies continue to play key roles in ongoing and future space missions.
