Paper Abstract
A series of experiments were conducted to validate the performance of the free-space optical communications (FSOC)
subsystem under DARPA's FOENEX program. Over six days, bidirectional links at ranges of 10 and 17 km were
characterized during different periods of the day to evaluate link performance. This paper will present the test
configuration, evaluate performance of the FSOC subsystem against a variety of characterization approaches, and discuss
the impact of the results, particularly with regards to the optical terminals. Finally, this paper will summarize the impact of
turbulence conditions on the FSOC subsystem and present methods for estimating performance under different link
distances and turbulence conditions.
