Radio Frequency Device Detection, Identification, and Secure Data Transmission using a Free-Space Optical Communications System

Discipline: Interdisciplinary

Advisor: Chung Yong Chan

Electronic warfare is rapidly becoming the focus of modern day conflict. The US Army would benefit from having a radio frequency device detector that can relay information without emitting it's own radio frequency (RF) transmission. Our project focuses on creating a RF device detector that utilizes free space optical communication to relay a message about the detected device across a significant distance. Current available detectors still use RF signals to relay information across different terminals. By using an optical network, we can securely transmit critical data.
