LightSpeed™

LightSpeed AN/PAQv2

AN/PAQ-6™ v2

This LightSpeed™ technology replaces a legacy Phone and Distance Line (PDL) system during Underway Replenishment (UNREP). The system is capable of passing any information (including tactical) in any format (open source) from ship (any size) to shore to mobile. There is Non-RF silent communication during approach. The UNREP-6-PAQ transceiver units’ use eye safe IR LEDs.

Lightspeed B22 binoculars

B22™

The eye-safe IR LED allows non-visible communication between units at distances up to 2.5km. Provides full-duplex voice communication and measures distances between LightSpeed™ devices with very high accuracy to provide distance, velocity and acceleration. Functions as a network link to a remote computing device or to another system via USB network connection.

Lightspeed F10 system

F10™

A non-RF free space optic video and control link, the F10™ system provides an invisible infrared Ethernet link between ground station and UAS.

LightSpeed L1 tactical flashlight

L1™

In addition to all L20™ functionality, LightSpeed™ optical communications provide clear voice link between L30™ units at distances over 1km.

Lightspeed L3 (FSO) tactical flashlight

L3™

Ability to communicate without radio (non-RF) is critical to many tactical situations. The L3 Free Space Optical (FSO) tactical flashlight supports simultaneous stereophonic quality full duplex voice communication and 20 megabits/second of Ethernet data communication in environments where traditional radio communication are either not allowed, degraded or not available.

LightSpeed L20 light gun

L20™

Small, portable, simple to use LED based Light Gun for signaling. Operates on Harris and Brentronics standard batteries or external power. Lightweight - <1kg, fits into a pocket! Can be used to transmit Morse code or color light signals. 12 hours of continuous ON operation/illumination on one charge.

LightSpeed L30 light gun

L30™

In addition to all L20 functionality, LightSpeed optical communications provide clear voice link between L30 units at distances over 1km.

LightSpeed R36 alternate view

R36™

The LightSpeed™ R36 unit is the latest generation of the Optical Communication system providing IP based Ethernet network and voice connection between vehicles.

LightSpeed R55 handheld optical device

R55™

The eye- safe IR source (Class 1) used by R55 allows non-visible communications between units at distances at extended range. Using the supplied headsets, R55 provides full- duplex voice communication. The units also function as an Ethernet link to a remote computing device or to another system via a standard Ethernet connection.

Lightspeed R60

R60™

The R60™ offers a nextgen omnidirectional Free-Space Optical transceiver that enables secure, RF-free communication at ranges up to 1,000 meters in all directions—ideal for dynamic, mobile, and contested defense scenarios.

LightSpeed U10 system

U10™

The eye-safe blue light LED used by U10 allows communications between units at distances up to 300 meters. The units function as an Ethernet link to a remote computing device or to another system via a standard Ethernet connection.

LightSpeed U15 Diver handset

U15™

Provides a 2-way, non-RF communication system from submarines to surface, airborne or underwater platforms with a wide angle of view. Avoids conspicuous operation and detection by creating a 1-10Mbps optical channel between a submarine underway and below water surface at distances exceeding 10km. The single reinforced fiber handles both Transmit and Receive.

Lightspeed V10 communications system

V10™

An electro-optical communications system is used as an extension to a vehicular intercom system to provide 2-way voice and data communications throughout a convoy. May be used to maintain networked communications throughout the convoy while operating under radio silent or RF (Radio Frequency) denied (jammed) environments.

LightSpeed Oceanlink system

Oceanlink™

The eye-safe blue light LED used by U10 allows communications between units at distances up to 300 meters. The units function as an Ethernet link to a remote computing device or to another system via a standard Ethernet connection.
