Laser communications bolster multi-domain defense capabilities

Laser communications, also known as free-space optical (FSO) technology, is emerging as a critical solution for enhancing multi-domain information dominance in defense and national security. This technology offers high bandwidth, low latency, and a reduced probability of interception, making it a vital alternative to traditional radio frequency (RF) communications, which are vulnerable to electronic warfare and jamming. FSO is being integrated across various operational environments, from space-based satellite networks to naval, aerial, and terrestrial applications, bolstering resilient command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C5ISR) capabilities for entities like the United States Army and NATO. AI
