Infrared Laser/Sonar Beam Interaction at Sea-Air Interface

Abstract

A novel technique for direct communication between an aircraft and a submarine, based on the use of laser beams in air and sonar beams in the sea, interacting at the sea surface, is described. Initial laboratory feasibility studies are described.
