Abstract :
The purpose of the lasercomm demonstration during the Trident Warrior 06 (TW06) exercise was to explore the performance of a high data rate free space laser communication system in the operational Navy during a transit from San Diego, California, to Honolulu, Hawaii. This was a joint effort between the Naval Research Laboratory and NovaSol, Inc. and was the first demonstration of a high speed ship-to-ship lasercomm system between operational large deck Naval platforms. High data rate free-space laser communication systems have been previously demonstrated over terrestrial and air-to-ground paths.
