Network Enabled by WDM-Highly Integrated Photonics (NEW-HIP)
Abstract
The Network Enabled by WDM-Highly Integrated Photonics (NEW-HIP) program facilitated building or upgrading military aircraft and other aerospace platforms with a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) single-mode fiber-optic networking infrastructure. NEW-HIP has many capabilities that are well beyond those of currently used copper- and multi-mode-fiber-based technologies. Originally, the program focused on specific technologies for application on the Navy's EA-6B Prowler aircraft; however, the program was broadened to focus on technologies to provide advanced capabilities to a multitude of military aircraft. The technologies developed under this program will be incorporated into military aircraft, including tactical aircraft, UAVs, wide-bodied aircraft, and rotorcraft.
