@uc?otion: You mentioned an JPSRU progiam where platform
jitter is assessed/eliminated using a.laser. May I
ask:
a. If the intent of eh@ program to measure jitter
(for later post-processing), or to eliminate/compensate
fox jitter through is slaving control mechanism?
b. Is litexatuxe is available on this matt-r (open
or at least releasablelto NATO)?
Reply-: a) The vnit albnc provides very precise and
accurate line-of-sighk offset measurements for high
frequency, low magnitude jitter. When used in concert
with a fast steering Lnirror, or other closed loop
syst.em, it can actively remove jitter.

b) The organization developing IPSRU is Draper Laboratory '.$
in Massachusetts. The program manager is Mr. Jerry
Cilmore.
meetion: Would you comment on the status of CAMEO?
Reply: The CAMEO, ASTEC,and ATSSB (standard busi fundinj
has been included in the President's Budget submission
to Congress in Fiscal Year 1993 and is in the Five
Year Defense Plan. The initial technology work (for
EH)' Comms has been conducted for DARPA by Lincoln
Laboratory and awaits further funding. CAMEO payload
specifications have been developed. The ATSSR is .
currently in source selection. The Congress deferred
these programs in FY 93, stating their opinion that
we are premature in starting the program. We plan
to re-plan tire program for a full start in 1994.
Que~ation: Referring to submarine laser communication.9,
where you indicated that the submarine would uplink
a signal for geolocation purposes to assist in downlink
laser aiming, what measures do.you propose for preventing
exploitation of this uplink radiation by hostile forces
for the same purposes?
Reply: There will be, in general, euff icient geogrdphl.ca1
separation that exploitation will not be possible.::",-,. ,., , .
