Fiber optic communications are part of the army’s information network and connect launch sites, army groups, and officers to the central HQ. The durability of fiber optic cables makes them perfect for the rugged and demanding environment of warfare. The application of optical fiber in defense has strong roots for the past two decades and is offering some fascinating new opportunities.
