Research abstract
Boulder Nonlinear Systems proposes to use its beam control system expertise to examine the feasibility of developing a free space optical terminal for air to ground optical communication. The proposed technology will emphasize size, weight and power constraints to improve the probability of eventual deployment on platforms with low payload capabilities. During Phase I, BNS will perform a component and subsystem assessment, define a systems architecture, and demonstrate component and subsystem capabilities. A design for the free space optical communications system will be included as part of the final report.
