TRANSCRIPT
QinetiQ’s Underwater Optical Communications solutions assist naval missions by providing command and control needs either entirely underwater, or through the air/water interface. Our solutions provide robust communications that can be tailored to specific applications to meet standoff distance, range and/or depth requirements, as well as SWaP constraints.
Robust Communications
QinetiQ North America’s Underwater Optical Communications portfolio provides on-demand one- and two-way communications, command and control of undersea systems and data exfiltration needs for manned and unmanned systems, vehicles, fixed and mobile sensors and underwater distributed sensor networks.
These solutions are ideal to connect multiple platforms and environments, such as low or high altitude manned and unmanned aircraft, manned or unmanned submersibles, fixed and mobile sensors and much more.
Our sensors can be operated in the day or night and in clear and cloudy water.
