The increasing demand for less costly and higher performing commercial-off-the-shelf (cOTs) solutions within military command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (c4isr) applications has elevated Optical Fiber Waveguides (OFW®) to new levels of acceptance and sophistication. The widespread deployment of OFW® throughout the defense c4isr systems infrastructure has been fueled by global demands for expanded coverage, increased bandwidth and data rates, and flexible deployment architectures. The proliferation of OFW® technology can also be attributed due in large part to the declining risks associated with the emergence of a new technology. Whereby, the systems engineers, without risk to jeopardizing mission success, can leverage the size, weight and power (sWaP) improvements within the cOTs marketplace to modernize c4isr architectures across the battlespace. read more ...
