With the successful prototype demonstration in an operational environment, BlueHalo has matured its optical communication terminals to Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: What are Satellite Laser Communication Terminals?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of our team, whose dedication to the mission has led to this milestone developing a space-based laser communication capability that is orders of magnitude greater than existing technology on orbit today,\u201d said <strong>Mary Clum<\/strong><strong>, President of the Product &amp; Space Systems Portfolio<\/strong>. \u201cWith the technology validated, BlueHalo is ready to begin quickly producing these advanced optical terminals for deployment on satellites across all echelons of space. It\u2019s an urgent need to enhance our nation\u2019s security posture in space and on the ground and support the rapidly accelerating demand for rapid transport of high-bandwidth, mission-critical data. We\u2019re ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>BlueHalo\u2019s laser communication terminals are suitable for both national security operations and commercial satellite bus providers, offering a longer range, greater accuracy, and higher reliability for free-space optical communications. The capability builds upon and advances systems previously developed and deployed by BlueHalo, many of which remain on orbit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BlueHalo, the company transforming the future of global defense through mission-critical innovation in the space domain, announced the successful milestone demonstration of its two-terminal long-haul, multi-orbit laser communication system.
