DATA TRANSMISSION IN NAVAL SHIPS BY FIBRE OPTICS<br />
M. Baldwin<br />
Modern warships contain sophisticated weapon systems and sensors which are<br />
interconnected. There are many miles of interconnecting cables to transfer<br />
this information both in digital and analogue form. This information must<br />
not be corrupted, but because of the sheer bulk of cables, they cannot<br />
always be routed and separated to obtain maximum immunity from electromagnetic<br />
interference. The weight of cables is also a problem.<br />
Fibre optics and integrated optics are considered to offer many advantages<br />
and to be the best of the new technologies.<br />
The paper will outline the problems encountered in Naval ships in data<br />
transfer by fibre optics, and discuss results of a trial of a high accuracy<br />
link between a shore based Radar and Gun.<br />
