Abstract:
Through-the-Air Link Optical Component is a low Size, Weight, and Power optical communications device that 1) acquires and maintains a broad band communications link between two platforms in line of sight with one another, 2) measures azimuth and elevation angle relative to each platform reference from one TALOC to the communicating TALOC and vice-versa, 3) measures distance between communicating TALOC units, and 4) sees through atmospheric disturbances such as clouds and fog. These remarkable functions open the door to several important derivative capabilities, such as determining absolute positions of all platforms in a community and formation of platform community into a phase array antenna

Claim (Index 24):
The optical communication system of  claim 23 ,\n wherein said at least one optical communication device further comprises a plurality of said optical communication devices, wherein one said optical communication device is disposed at each of a top of each said platform, a bottom of each said platform, a front of each said platform, and a back of each said platform, and wherein the top and bottom optical communication devices are cooperatively disposed so as to cover 360 degrees in elevation about a central platform axis, and said front and back optical communication devices are cooperatively disposed so as to provide angular coverage sufficient to enable at least one said optical communication device to establish an optical line-of-sight connection in any direction surrounding any one of the first platform and second platforms with the other of the first and second platforms.
