UltraAir will enable the exchange of large amounts of data using laser beams in a network of ground stations and satellites in geostationary orbit at 36,000 km above the Earth.
This will allow military aircraft and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to connect within a multi-domain combat cloud thanks to laser-based satellite constellations such as Airbus’ SpaceDataHighway.“This is a key milestone in the roadmap of Airbus’ overall strategy to drive laser communications further, which will bring forward the benefits of this technology as a key differentiator for providing multi-domain combat collaboration for government and defense customers.
UltraAir will also help solve the bottlenecks experienced by traditional Satcom radio-frequency bands due to growth in satellite bandwidth demand. Laser communication brings 1,000 times more data, 10 times faster than the current network.“Laser links also have the benefit of avoiding interference and detection, as compared to already-crowded radio frequencies, they are extremely difficult to intercept due to a much narrower beam.
Airbus has of late been investing in all kinds of new and cutting-edge technology. In December of last year,with CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, to launch Airbus UpNext, a project whose aim is to evaluate how superconductivity can contribute to the decarbonization of future aircraft systems.
