Volume 3, 2011
Welcome to the third issue of Envision. Within these pages you will find insights into the emerging technologies coalescing in the laboratories of MITRE and other research centers. In the next five to 10 years or beyond, the technologies featured here could lay a new foundation for the way government agencies pursue the challenges they face. The key to this new foundation will be connections; research into emerging technology is not a solitary pursuit. So MITRE helps sponsors build strong, flexible networks of connections that foster innovation, spark creativity, and bring together talented people and challenging ideas. The technologies featured in this issue are all in some way the result of those connections. MITRE proposals to redesign computer interfaces, to improve the effectiveness of DNA sequencing, and to enable the construction of vital spare parts for military equipment right on the front line all build off a framework of research by other organizations. Connections within an organization are just as necessary as connections between organizations in the development of emerging technologies. MITRE's research into scanning sealed containers with gravity waves, into maximizing the capabilities of signal processing, and into improving airport efficiency all rely on a culture of collaboration and communication to fully focus our collective expertise. Networks and the connections they engender are the engines that drive budding ideas into emerging technologies. And, as we hope this issue of Envision will attest, MITRE serves as a vital hub in that network of research, helping to expand and strengthen the connections among researchers, their ideas, their organizations, and their customers. Envision's authors have included their email addresses if you have comments or questions. In addition, if you visit our website (www.mitre.org/envision), the authors have posted links to other related articles you might find of interest. We invite you to share your thoughts and feedback and to stay connected with us as we continue to research and explore technology to transform tomorrow. —Steve Huffman
