Abstract

BridgeComm has worked to advance the capabilities of the Managed Optical Communications Array (MOCA) technology for application to a broad set of use cases and environments. This advancement includes raising technology readiness level to TRL 6 and above and tailoring developments for a specific sets of applications such as optical intersatellite links, space to airborne communications and vehicular communications on the move. The key elements in the design of the optical terminal will be discussed. The ability to steer the beam through a wide field of regard without the use of mechanical gimbals has been demonstrated and will be presented. That design enables the ability to move the optical beam between multiple elements quickly using time division multiple access (TDMA) techniques and support a multitude of end users with a high data rate, dynamically reconfigurable communications network. Analysis of a specific application environment will be reviewed, and data presented.
