Synopsis:

The publication highlights Draper's first 25 years as an independent corporation from 1973 through our recent achievements. Technology developments span early GN&C work and its applications to national programs to evolving expertises in such fields as microelectronics, MEMS, robotics, autonomous systems, information management and biomedical engineering. Set against the backdrop of operational highlights, the work chronicles the Laboratory's early days as the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory through its divestiture before describing the subsequent 25 years marked by the Cold War and its aftermath.
