Research abstract

A CONTINUING REQUIREMENT EXISTS FOR REAL-TIME COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN A SUBMERGED ATTACK SUBMARINE AND BATTLE GROUP COMMANDER. NONE OF THE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS PRESENTLY AVAILABLE SATISFY THE REQUIREMENT COMPELETELY FOR SECURE, REAL-TIME, TWO-WAY COMMUNICATIONS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND DEEP DEPTHS. THE EXISTING TOW-WAY EXPENDABLE COMMUNICATIONS BUDY IS BANDWIDTH AND ENDURANCE LIMITED BECAUSE OF THE WIRE LINK USED IN ITS CONSTRUCTION. THIS PROPOSAL WILL STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF SUBSITIUTING AN UNCABLED OPTICAL FIBER LINK FOR A WIRE LINK IN AN EXPENDABLE BUOY. INCLUDED WILL BE AN EVALUATION OF MECHANCIAL RISKS FOR 4,5,AND 6 INCH DIAMETER PAYLOADS, FIBER OPTIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS, OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS AND INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS.
