Description

Operations of military aircraft within Anti-Access/Aerial Denial (A2/AD) or RF denied theaters of operation has become more challenging recently. In addition to manned aircraft, the proliferation of autonomous UAVs in defense applications requires advancement of communications capabilities over current technologies. Combining RF and optical communications interfaces offer distinct advantages over RF-only systems. A significant example is seamless communications and operations in RF denied arenas, providing a critical advantage over enemy forces whose communications are completely blocked.
