Airbus e ikopantseng le VDL Group ho nts'etsapele le ho hlahisa sebaka sa puisano sa laser bakeng sa lifofane, se tsejoang ka hore ke UltraAir.
Ho ipapisitsoe le nts'etsopele e etelletsoeng pele ke Airbus le Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), lik'hamphani tsena tse peli joale li tla lokisetsa pontšo ea mohlala le teko ea pele ea sefofane ka 2024.
Ho tloha ka 2024, Airbus le VDL Group - mofani oa thepa ea indasteri ea theknoloji e phahameng ea Madache - e tla ntšetsa pele indasteri ea mohlala e le hore e lokisetse ho kopanngoa le sefofane se tsamaisang. VDL e tlisa moralo oa tlhahiso ho kopanelo mme e tla etsa litsamaiso tsa bohlokoa. Teko ea sefofane ea prototype ena e tsoetseng pele e reriloe ka 2025 sefofaneng.
UltraAir e tla thusa ho fapanyetsana ha data e ngata ka ho sebelisa maramo a laser marang-rang a liteishene tsa fatše le lisathelaete sebakeng sa geostationary orbit sebakeng sa 36,000 km ka holim'a Lefatše. Ka thekenoloji e ke keng ea lekanngoa e kenyelletsang mokhoa o tsitsitseng haholo le o nepahetseng oa optical mechatronic, setsi sena sa laser se tla betla tsela bakeng sa litekanyetso tsa phetisetso ea data tse ka fihlang li-gigabits tse 'maloa ka motsotsoana ha li ntse li fana ka anti-jamming le monyetla o fokolang oa ho thibela.
Ka tsela ena, UltraAir e tla lumella lifofane tsa sesole le UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) hore li hokahane ka har'a maru a mangata a ntoa ka lebaka la lihlopha tsa linaleli tsa satellite tse thehiloeng ho laser tse kang Airbus' SpaceDataHighway. Ena ke ketsahalo ea bohlokoa 'mapeng oa leano la kakaretso la Airbus la ho khanna likhokahano tsa laser ho ea pele, e leng se tla tlisa melemo ea theknoloji ena e le phapang ea bohlokoa bakeng sa ho fana ka tšebelisano-'moho ea li-domain tse ngata bakeng sa bareki ba mmuso le ts'ireletso. Ha nako e ntse e feta, UltraAir e ka boela ea kenngoa ts'ebetsong ea lifofane tsa khoebo ho lumella bapalami ba lifofane ho theha likhokahano tsa data tse potlakileng.
Ho nkoa e le tharollo bakeng sa sephethephethe sa data mehleng ea quantum, theknoloji ea puisano ea laser ke phetoho e latelang ea likhokahano tsa satellite (satcom). Ha tlhoko ea satellite bandwidth e ntse e hola, lihlopha tsa setso tsa radio-frequency tsa satcom li ntse li na le mathata. Puisano ea laser e tlisa lintlha tse fetang 1,000 ka makhetlo a 10 ka potlako ho feta marang-rang a hona joale. Lihokelo tsa Laser le tsona li na le molemo oa ho qoba ho kena-kenana le ho lemoha, ha li bapisoa le maqhubu a seea-le-moea a seng a ntse a tletse a thata haholo ho a thibela ka lebaka la khanya e fokolang haholo. Ka hona, liteishene tsa laser li ka ba bobebe, tsa sebelisa matla a fokolang 'me tsa fana ka tšireletso e ntle ho feta seea-le-moea.
E tšehelitsoe ka lichelete ke Airbus le VDL Group, morero oa UltraAir o boetse o tšehetsoa ke lenaneo la ESA ScyLight (Secure and Laser Communication Technology) le lenaneo la "NxtGen Hightech", e le karolo ea Dutch Growth Fund, e etelletsoeng pele ke TNO le setsi se seholo. sehlopha sa lik'hamphani tsa Madache.
