Laser Communication

On 21st February, 2008, a government-to-government cooperation between the United States and Germany to establish a laser link between two operational satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The German radar satellite TerraSAR-X and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency satellite NFIRE, both equipped with Laser Communication Terminals (LCT 135) manufactured by Airbus US subsidiary Tesat-Spacecom established the first successful and stable orbital laser link at 5.6 Gbps of data.

LPI/LPD Communications

Anti-Access/Area Denial strategies target radio frequency communications to inhibit our movement and deny freedom of action in areas of interest. This threat has profound consequences but can be mitigated with laser communications which are more difficult to jam, intercept, or detect, while offering high data rate communications across ground, air and space domains.
