Optical Communication Module
Software-defined free-space links for covert, resilient networking.
Fifth Force Labs is developing an optical communication module inspired by the active retroreflector concept: a wide-field free-space terminal that receives, authenticates, and returns directed optical traffic without relying on a conventional gimbaled link.
Deployment
Built for autonomous fleets, relays, and distributed optical nodes.
The concept is aimed at scenarios where drones, maritime assets, and remote terminals need optical coordination without exposing a conventional RF footprint.
