In response to the fleet operational requirement for covert hand-over between two P-3 patrol aircraft engaged in maritime surface/subsurface surveillance, trade-offs were addressed between two separate communication systems designed for such service - the first based on millimetre-wave technology, the other on electro-optical technology. Under the most ideal interception conditions, millimetre-wave and electro-optical technologies give comparable performance levels and both restrict communication to significantly lower maximum detectable range than do present uhf communication techniques. |
