چکیده

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) flying in swarm formations carrying a variety of sensors for monitoring and surveillance is in fact a future application for both civil and military use. Different requirements of guidance and control of UAV were already identified; however, the communication facilities between mobile platforms and air-to-ground links are restricted to low bit rate and radio based technology. In the near term data rates in the area of 100 Mbit/s to 1 Gbit/s will be needed to handle multiple sensor information in real-time and parallel. Thus, UAV in combination with Free Space Optics (FSO) is a new challenge and will be needed everywhere, where big amounts of data have to be delivered in real-time. With up to 2.5 Gbit/s the optical solutions beat all the other ones like for example microwaves.
