摘要
Due to increasing congestion found in the electromagnetic spectrum, alternatives must be explored for future communication capabilities. Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC) has the potential to achieve secure, reliable, pervasive, and high-performance wireless connectivity. In this paper, the advantages / disadvantages of the application of FSOC in military use cases will be discussed with a review of the related research. We will provide a case study on the simulation of a camera-based pointing and tracking system deployed on an above-water platforms (Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carrier / Archer Class patrol vessel). This paper was originally presented at the NATO Science and Technology Organization Symposium (ICMCIS) organized by the Information Systems Technology (IST) Panel, IST-200RSY - the ICMCIS, held in Skopje, North Macedonia, 16-17 May 2023
