BRIGHTLABS
Transforming Missions through Emerging Technology
BrightLabs leads Booz Allen’s portfolio of applied research, prototyping, and experimentation initiatives. We combine in-depth expertise in emerging technologies with mission insights to incubate, prototype, and deliver solutions to advance our nation’s priorities.
Our evolving portfolio encompasses areas such as accelerated readiness, autonomy, digital twins, distributed ledger, next generation networks, edge cloud, AI-enabled software engineering and operations, and quantum computing. These areas are informed through in-depth conversations with mission leaders, our dedicated tech scouting team, and our corporate venture capital investments, which allows us to understand emerging commercial and adversarial innovations alongside national demand signals. By helping our customers navigate and test emerging technologies, we position them to learn about and adopt these capabilities faster and with minimal risk before operational deployment.
