Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical networks are seen as a leading candidate for data avionic systems communication link needs. Optical burst mode switching uses wavelength addressing, replacing electronic switching. In this project we propose to develop a hybrid burst mode transmitter,… More

ABSTRACT: Data rates necessary to support the warfighter continue to increase. New satellite interconnects are needed which have minimal signal distribution weight and power overhead. Optical backplanes which accommodate these new"short haul"payload processing and"long… More

Navy aircraft are currently using proprietary, size, weight and power inefficient copper interconnects for avionics. These interconnects are costly for the Navy to maintain and to retrofit. New solutions are needed that are standards-based, easily upgraded and maintained, and leverage the efficiency… More

To meet the Navy"s need for innovative transport interfaces, Accipiter Systems is proposing a unified passive optical core-based transport system able to provide connectivity over distances greater than 200 feet between the elements of an Electronic Warfare System (EWS), namely RF digitizing… More
