Space Micro will develop a terminal for transmitting data from the F-35 to the satellite

Air Force (Air Force) The United States has entrusted Space Micro with the development of a terminal that allows data to be transmitted from a maneuvering fighter like the F-35 Lightning II to a geostationary satellite at a speed of about 10 gigabits per second, writes the American edition of The Drive.

It is planned to use laser communication to exchange information. The publication writes that the use of the atmosphere - space channel will avoid the impact on the aircraft systems of ground-based electronic warfare (EW). The main difficulty of the development is to ensure the stability of communication when maneuvering the aircraft.

The Drive claims that it is practically possible to silence the laser communication channel only if an "enemy object" is located directly between the receiver and the transmitter. The publication reminds that the use of lasers in a rarefied atmosphere and space avoids distortions characteristic of ground-based systems.

In January, Space24 reported that in mid-December last year, Airbus and OneWeb signed a partnership agreement to provide satellite communications services in low Earth orbit in the interests of the military in Europe.

In December 2021, Defense News reported that the US Department of Defense wanted to directly connect commercial satellites providing images of the Earth's surface to its future orbital networks, which will allow soldiers in the field to access relevant data faster.

In May 2020, the publication Popular Mechanics recalled that the spacecraft of the Starlink system of the American company SpaceX support the Blackjack project ("Black Jack") of the Office of Advanced Research Projects of the United States Department of Defense.
