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 28):
The optical communication system of  claim 25 ,\n wherein the retro-reflector of the optical communication device of the second platform reflects optical signals back to the optical communication device of the first platform, and wherein, upon detection of the reflected optical signals by the tracking detector array of the optical communication device of the first platform, the acquisition/tracking portion of the optical communication device of the first platform is configured to determine a retro-reflector angle pair associated with the second platform and to track a position of the second platform.
