Recent advances in component technology now make it possible to exploit of the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum for short range, medium bandwidth, low probability of intercept (LPl) communications. BAE Systems will report on analysis of hardware and phenomenology for the near term application of Solar Blind Ultraviolet Non Line-of-Sight Communications (SB UV NLOS Comm). Communications in the presence ofRadio Frequency (RF) interference from Counter-lED jamming is a formidable challenge for our war-fighters on the battlefield of today and the future. Here we discuss approaches to exploit the Solar Blind (SB) Ultraviolet (UV) spectrum to provide a short range (-500m), medium bandwidth (28.8 kbps), Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS), networked communications system as an alternative to traditional RF communications systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
