Hanscom's mission within the Air Force is unique; it is the home base to no Air Force flying activities. Its mission, rather, is to support research and electronic systems instead of hosting military aircraft. Hanscom AFB does not have its own runways; it uses the runways of Hanscom Field, a civilian airport adjacent to the Air Force Base. Less than one percent of the airplanes that land on the runways of Hanscom Field are military aircraft.
