Rewriting the Rules of Mobility
Driving Tomorrow
After years of development, MIT’s Lincoln Lab ground-penetrating radar was patented by GPR (Ground Positioning Radar™) in 2012 and first deployed in Afghanistan in 2013. Gaining traction in the commercial industry since 2015, GPR is driving a new standard for safety and expanding markets for autonomous vehicles and automated operations.
