For more than 60 years, we have worked in the public interest—growing from the operation of one FFRDC to six. We perform independent research to address national challenges and create economic value through technology advances. Through our public-private partnerships, we work across government, academia, and industry to tackle challenges to the safety, stability, and well-being of our nation. We deliver independent advice, robust systems thinking, and interdisciplinary expertise to achieve our mission: solving problems for a safer world.
