Developing Capability: The Use of Laser Communication Technology to Operate in a Cyber-Denied Environment (Paperback or Softback)

US forces rely heavily upon various systems in order to navigate, communicate, employ weapons, synchronize data links, and transfer a wide variety of data. Nearly all battlefield systems rely upon some form of electronic technology to function and can be hindered in one way or another. Geography, atmospherics, bandwidth, intentional and unintentional interference, and jamming can range from tolerable annoyance to complete compromise. The basic capability to freely and securely navigate and communicate on the battlefield is essential to enable strategic, operational and tactical objectives. Laser technology may hold the key to reliable and sustainable navigation and communication capability options in a cyber-denied environment.
