What you'll learn
- Europe has a credible technical and industrial base for mobile optical communications, but a military communication capability is not created by the existence of a laser terminal, a successful link demonstration or an EU-funded prototype.
- The relevant threshold is considerably higher.
- A deployable system has to acquire and maintain a narrow optical link while platforms move, tolerate the environmental envelope in which it is expected to operate, exchange traffic with existing networks, satisfy platform safety and qualification requirements, be manufactured repeatedly, and remain repairable and replaceable under European control.
