AOI 27-A001 Resilient Airborne Free-Space Optical Communications Turret

Description: NIWC Atlantic seeks proposals to prototype and demonstrate a flight-certified, aero-optically resilient dual-turret system for free-space optical communications and optical time transfer. The system is intended to support communications and timing across ground, littoral, and airborne environments where GPS or radio-frequency links may be denied. The solicitation addresses flight challenges including aero-optical distortion, aircraft motion, and size, weight, power, and aerodynamic constraints.
