Review of the Fiber Optic Control System Integration program
Robert J. Baumbick · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1991
A joint NASA/NAVY program, called FOCSI, is reviewed which is aimed at designing optical sensor systems to fit the installation and environmentally test passive optical sensors and electrooptic architectures. These optical sensor systems will be flown on an F18 aircraft to collect data on the operability and maintainability of these systems in a flight environment. The NASA F-18 aircraft will be equipped with a 1773 optical databus to transfer the optical sensor information to the aircraft data collection location.
