Abstract

There has been great interest among the Special Operations Community for the capabilities that Air-Launched UAS can provide. This presentation will address how air-launched UAS provide additional capability in support of the AFSOC mission and identify potential areas where Photonics or related technologies may contribute.

Abstract

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate using data-carrying Gaussian beam to “hide” a weaker data carrying OAM beam. A 50-Gbit/s QPSK data link with Q factor above 4.5 is realized for the weak OAM beam when the power difference between Gaussian and OAM beam is 30-dB.

Abstract

Abstract

As Infrared LED (IRLED) scene projector (IRSP) technology advances, the need to test for consistency and longevity also becomes more crucial. This paper characterizes the tests used to measure the reliability, repeatability, and reproducibility (R3) of an IRLED scene projector and the outcomes.
