Harnessing a Network of Laboratories to Meet Tomorrow’s Homeland Security Challenges

ONL embraces its centralized role with all laboratories that provide developmental assistance for products and solutions to support the homeland security community and keep our country safe. ONL is arranged into two branches that work collaboratively with the laboratories and key stakeholders to deliver vital science and technology capabilities.

Our Utilization Branch facilitates the effective use of our five in-house RDT&E laboratories and their capabilities located across seven sites, the Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories and other auxiliary RDT&E capabilities and technology transition activities.

Our Operations Branch provides oversight for the five S&T laboratories and sites to make sure they remain primed and equipped to fulfill mission needs. It fills a vital role by ensuring that each laboratory operates in a safe and secure manner compliant with federal, state and local regulations.
