About Us

Providing quality research, technology, software, and systems to solve our toughest national security problems.

Advanced Information Technologies (AIT) develops advanced technologies and software solutions that bridge the gap between fundamental research and its operational deployment.

With our rich history and expertise in advanced R&D and problem solving, we are a recognized leader in the development of algorithms and software systems that provide integrated, high-performance capabilities for the entire information processing chain, from raw sensor measurements to strategy formulation, planning, and execution.

AIT’s broad technical expertise includes signal and image processing, networking and communications, tracking and sensor management, computational social science, knowledge discovery and data mining, fusion and information integration, cognitive and neural systems, battle management/command and control, decision aids/intelligent systems, information assurance and security, distributed systems and advanced computing.

Our primary customer base includes the agencies and offices of the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. intelligence community, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Our technologies are also being applied to selected commercial applications.

Formerly known as Alphatech, a 1979 spin-off from MIT, Advanced Information Technologies was acquired by BAE Systems in 2004. AIT maintains its headquarters in Burlington, MA and has additional offices in Arlington, VA; Los Altos, CA; and Hanover, NH. Our high-quality technical team includes more than 340 researchers, system engineers, and software engineers, over 70 percent of which hold advanced engineering and science degrees. Together, they represent a broad range of experience from applied research to advanced concept development and analysis, and operational system development and integration.
