==Notable accomplishments==
*The first working model of the [[laser]] was created at Hughes Research Laboratories in 1960 by [[Theodore Harold Maiman|Theodore Maiman]] (1927–2007).
*HRL began research on [[atomic clocks]] in 1959. In the late 1970s they produced experimental maser oscillators for NRL, which eventually led to space-based [[GPS]] atomic clocks.
*HRL began research on ion propulsion in 1960.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/1999/prop06apr99_2/ |publisher=NASA |title=Ion Propulsion – Over 50 Years in the Making |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140131150908/http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/1999/prop06apr99_2/ |archive-date=2014-01-31}}</ref> This research led to the Hughes developed xenon [[ion propulsion]] system (XIPS. XIPS was used as the primary propulsion system on [[NASA]]'s [[Deep Space&nbsp;1]] (launched in 1998). It is a standard option for primary stationkeeping on the Hughes/Boeing [[601HP]] (first use: [[Intelsat 5|PAS-5]], 1997) and the 702 (first use: [[Galaxy-XI]], 1999) geostationary satellite families.
*HRL claims to have developed the liquid crystal wristwatch in 1975.
*HRL's SyNAPSE neuromorphic chip is the first chip to learn like the brain by altering synapses (listed as one of MIT Tech Review top ten breakthrough technologies) (2010s).
*Developed world's largest most biologically accurate, integrated computational model of 9 brain systems explaining [[cognitive bias]]es (2010s).
*CNN Top Ten DARPA Technologies ([[Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System]]), the world's first "cognitive-neural" binocular threat-detection technology (2010s).
*Developed "MagicNet", a pattern matching method using time-delay neural networks that is two times faster than deterministic finite automata for exact pattern matching<ref name=hh2014>{{cite journal |author=H. Hoffmann, M. D. Howard, and M. J. Daily |year=2011 |title=Fast pattern matching with time-delay neural networks |journal=International Joint Conference on Neural Networks}}</ref> (2011).
*Designed and built reconfigurable spatially immersive display system (1990s).
*First hybrid satellite-wireless ad hoc network (1990s).
*First stabilized outdoor augmented reality system (1990s).
*HRL developed the [[metallic microlattice]], the lightest material, in 2011.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Ultralight Metallic Microlattices |author1=TA Schaedler |author2=A. J. Jacobsen |author3=A.
