The US Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory, Cambridge, Massachusetts, was the USAF center for countermeasure activities up to 1961. That work was moved to another division and AFCRL continued its atmospheric and geophysics research under the newly-created Office for Atmospheric Research.
AKA: US Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories;Hanscom AFB. Location: Bedford, MA.
In September 1945, the Cambridge Field Station was established under the jurisdiction of the Army Air Force's New Jersey-based Watson Laboratories. Fearing the loss of a talented pool of scientists, engineers, and technical staffs at Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who had performed invaluable research in radar and electronics, the Army Air Forces established the station at 224 Albany Street in Cambridge. By the end of 1945, the station employed 230 civilians and within 6 months this number nearly tripled.
Two years later the station came under control of the Air Materiel Command. An atmospheric research activity from Red Bank, New Jersey, was moved to the Boston area in 1948. These two separate functions, undertaken at several facilities in the Boston-Cambridge area but controlled by two separate directorates under the AFCRL organization, continued through the 1950's and early 1960's.
In 1949, the facility became known as the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. In 1951, the Air Force Cambridge Research Center established itself adjacent to Hanscom Air Field at Bedford. Now under the command of the newly formed Air Research and Development Command (ARDC), the center took on responsibility for a project administered by MIT. "Project Lincoln" was the code name for an Air Force-contracted laboratory designed to resolve air defense problems. In 1952, MIT named its research complex, also located at Hanscom Field, the Lincoln Laboratory. At this time, MIT hosted a cadre of scientists in what became known as the Lincoln Summer Study Group. Recommendations of this group regarding air defense profoundly affected systems acquisitions over the next decade. One such system developed locally was the Lincoln Transition System. The eventual outcome of the Lincoln Transition System was the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) system that used computers to decipher electronic data so that commanders could effectively employ defensive forces such as BOMARC missiles. As testing began at prototype radars erected for the SAGE system at Cape Cod, Lincoln Laboratory worked to develop complementary electronic systems for the Distant Early Warning System Line and the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System.
In 1960 the Air Force Cambridge Research Center was redesignated as the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories. In 1961 the countermeasure activities were moved to another division and AFCRL continued its atmospheric and geophysics research under the newly-created Office for Atmospheric Research. In 1962 AFCRL consisted of 1100 staff, of which 680 were degreed professionals. In 1962 AFCRL consisted of 1100 staff, of which 680 were degreed professionals. Another name change took place in 1976, as the facility became the Air Force Geophysics Laboratory. This organization continued in a mission to understand the interaction of Air Force systems in a space environment. Experiments designed to better understand upper-atmospheric effects took place in over 2,000 balloon, 1,000 sounding rocket, 150 satellite, and several space shuttle missions.
In 1990, the Geophysics Laboratory became part of the Phillips Laboratory organization.
