Free-Space Optical Communication Atmospheric Link (FOCAL) for Multi-Aperture Sparse Imager Video System (MASIVS)
Abstract
Building on this successful flight demonstration in Sep-Oct 2009, the Free-Space Optical Communication Atmospheric Link (FOCAL) will make improvements necessary for deployment, namely increased bandwidth to 10 Gbps and reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP). The initial flight demonstration is at Empire Challenge 2010 where FOCAL will integrate with the MASIVS. Further FOCAL development is planned for FY 2011 with development of a prototype suitable for deployment.
