Airbus a me TNO e hoʻomohala i ka mokuna kamaʻilio kukuna mokulele

• ʻO nā ʻenehana kūkā kamaʻilio ʻo Laser ka mea hou aʻe i nā kamaʻilio ukali
• Uhi ka papahana i ka hoʻolālā, kūkulu a me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ka mea hōʻike ʻenehana
• Hiki i ka terminal UltraAir ke hoʻohui i nā pilina laser ma waena o kahi mokulele a me kahi ukali ma ka geostationary orbit 36,000 km ma luna o ka Honua.

Airbus a me ka ʻO ka hui ʻo Netherlands no ka noiʻi ʻepekema noi (TNO) ua hoʻokumu i kahi papahana e hoʻomohala i kahi mea hōʻike terminal laser e hōʻike ana no nā mokulele, i ʻike ʻia ʻo UltraAir.

ʻO ka papahana, i kākoʻo kālā ʻia e Airbus, TNO a me ka Netherlands Space Office (NSO), kahi ʻāpana o ka European Space Agency (ESA) ScyLight (Secure a me ka ʻenehana kamaʻilio Laser) ʻenehana. Uhi ʻia i ka hoʻolālā, kūkulu a me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ka mea hōʻike ʻenehana. ʻO nā ʻenehana kamaʻilio laser ka mea hou aʻe i nā kamaʻilio ukali (satcom), e lawe mai nei i nā helu hoʻoili mua ʻole, ka palekana o ka ʻikepili a me ke kūpaʻa e hālāwai me nā pono ʻoihana i nā makahiki he XNUMX e hiki mai ana.

Hiki i ka terminal UltraAir ke hoʻopili i nā pilina laser ma waena o kahi mokulele a me kahi ukali ma ka geostationary orbit 36,000 km ma luna o ka Honua, me ka ʻenehana lua ʻole e like me kahi ʻōnaehana mechatronic optical paʻa loa a kikoʻī hoʻi. E hoʻomākaukau ka mea hōʻike ʻenehana i ke ala no kahi huahana UltraAir e hiki mai ana kahi hiki i nā helu hoʻoili ʻikepili ke hiki i kekahi gigabits-per-sekona ʻoiai ke hāʻawi nei i ka anti-jamming a me ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ka interception. Ma kēia ala ʻaʻole e hiki i ka UltraAir ke hoʻohana wale i nā mokulele pūʻali koa a me nā UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) e hoʻohui i loko o kahi ao hakakā, akā i ka manawa lōʻihi e hāʻawi i nā mea holo mokulele e hoʻokumu i nā pilina ʻike wikiwiki me ka mahalo i ka hōkele ʻo Airbus 'SpaceDataHighway. Mai ko lākou kūlana i ka orbit geostationary, hōʻike nā satellite SpaceDataHighway (EDRS) i ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia e nā satellite e nānā ana i ka Honua i ka manawa kokoke, kahi hana e hana mau ai i mau hola.

Ke alakaʻi nei ʻo Airbus i ka papahana a lawe mai i kāna ʻike loea i ka launa ʻana me nā ukali ukali laser, hoʻomohala ʻia me ka papahana SpaceDataHighway. E hoʻohui ia i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka hopena a me ka hoʻāʻo ʻana ma ka honua a me ka lewa. Ma ke ʻano he hoa nui o ka papahana, hāʻawi ʻo TNO i kona ʻike ma opto-mechatronics ʻoi loa, kākoʻo ʻia e ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe a me ka ʻoihana ākea Dutch. ʻO Airbus Defense a Space i Netherlands ka mea e kuleana no ka hana ʻoihana o nā kikowaena. Hāʻawi ʻo Tesat lālā ʻo Tesat i kona ʻike loea i nā ʻōnaehana kamaʻilio laser a e hoʻopili ʻia i nā hana hoʻāʻo a pau.

E mālama ʻia nā hoʻokolohua mua ma ka hopena o 2021 ma nā keʻena hoʻokolohua ma Tesat. I ka mahele ʻelua, e hoʻomaka ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻāʻo honua ma 2022 ma Tenerife (Sepania), kahi e hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka pilina ma waena o kahi mea hōʻikeʻike UltraAir a me ka pahu laser i hoʻomaka ʻia ma ka satellite ʻo Alphasat e hoʻohana ana i ka ESA Optical Ground Station. No ka hōʻoia hope loa, e hoʻopili ʻia ka mea hōʻike ʻo UltraAir ma kahi mokulele no ka hoʻāʻo lele ʻana ma waena o 2022.

Ke ulu nei nā noi ukali, ke loaʻa nei nā ʻōmole radio-frequency radio i nā bottlenecks. Loaʻa ka pōmaikaʻi o nā loulou laser i ka pale ʻana i ka hoʻopilikia a me ka ʻike ʻana, e like me ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana i nā alapine lekiō i piha i ka lehulehu, paʻakikī loa ke kamaʻilio ʻana ma ka laser ma muli o kahi kaola ʻoi loa. No laila, hiki i nā pahu laser ke māmā, hoʻopau i ka mana liʻiliʻi a hāʻawi i ka palekana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka lekiō.

ʻO kēia papahana hou kahi hanana nui i ka papa kuhikuhi o ka hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa o Airbus e kipaku hou aku ai i nā kamaʻilio kukuna, kahi e lawe ai i nā pono o kēia ʻenehana ma ke ʻano he mea ʻokoʻa no ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka laulima Multi-Domain no ke Aupuni a me nā mea kūʻai aku pale.
