Research abstract
QuantaSpec proposes an approach to a small size, light weight, low power, low cost Free Space Optical Communication System for use with tactical aircraft. The scope of work will assess trade space and mitigation approaches to overcome key challenges of FSO communication. These mitigation approaches can enable improved range, reliability, data rate, and security of communications.
