Program Accomplishment: To extend the DISN from a sanctuary PoP to a theater PoP via a mobile free space optical path that is robust, extensible, and deployable on demand, in short, to be the “fat pipe” into and out of the theater.
THOR
leveraged:
• the switching & correcting power of a network to overcome traditional
free-space optical communications pitfalls: no line of sight and poor
atmospherics
• commercial fiber technology
• electro-optical beam steering
