P2P-FSO

ASE Optics will be one of the consortium members participating in the P2P-FSO project. It is a very high-speed, point-to-point, discrete and secure FSO (Free Space Optical) communication link that will provide a complementary means of communication to radio frequency between land and maritime military platforms and future C4-ISR operations.

Specifically, ASE Optics will be in charge of designing and prototyping the specific optical elements of the receiving subpart of this communication link.

The objective of this project is to develop a medium and long range gyro-stabilized optical communication module for military platforms, based on a high power shortwave infrared (SWIR) laser that allows to have a very secure and confidential speed transfer, but also to ensure the ocular safety of all military and civilians in the field.

This consortium, formed by the companiesASE Optics, Lambda-X, Hellenic Instruments , Amphinicy yheaded by Nexvision, has been a beneficiary of the European defense programEuropean Defence Fund (EDF).
