The Tactical Satellite Communications Group (https://www.ll.mit.edu/r-d/communication-systems/tactical-satellite-communications) is developing technologies and analysis for some of the most advanced communication systems in the world. The Group is involved in a synergistic combination of research, prototyping, and experimentation efforts focused on the goals of enhancing the capability and robustness of future generations of communications satellites and systems.



Current research areas draw from advanced knowledge of Information Theory, Communication Theory, Network Theory, Array Processing, Estimation and Detection, Machine Learning, Antennas and Arrays, Dynammic Resource Allocation, and Optimization. Promising research results are verified in hardware and software prototypes that provide quantitative performance data in relevant environments. Exceptional candidates seeking to become experts in these fields and advance the state of technology are encouraged to app...
