A process and apparatus is described for recovering from optical transmission degradation due to scintillation effects in optical free space. A payload bit stream is encoded into Reed-Solomon codewords. These are fragmented and distributed as interleaved segments over a cell matrix of a SDRAM buffer store which is made large enough to correct a burst error occurring over 20 million consecutive bits. The rate imbalance between conventional read vs. write operations for SDRAM devices, which would otherwise obviate their use in this application by preventing real time operation, is overcome by an address remapping that avoids having to changing page addresses each time SDRAM memory is referenced. The remapping facilitates a more nearly equal allocation of READ overhead and WRITE overhead. An optical communications system employs at both the transmit and receive ends, substantially equivalent SDRAM buffer with address remapping capability.

A system and method for bridging the POTS network and a packet network, such as the Internet, uses a set of access objects that provide the interfacing and functionality for exchanging address and payload information with the packet network, and for exchanging payload information with the payload subnetwork and signaling information with the signaling subnetwork of the POTS network. The system includes a communications management object that coordinates the transfer of information between the POTS network and the packet network; a payload object that transfers payload information between the system and the payload subnetwork of the first communications network; a signaling object that transfers signaling information between the system and the signaling subnetwork of the first communications network in accordance with a signaling protocol associated with the signaling subnetwork; and a packet object that transfers payload and address information between the system and the second communications network in accordance with a communications protocol associated with the second communications network. An alternative embodiment uses a plurality of payload, signaling and packet objects to provide a scalable system.

A method for target acquisition and tracking of a moving station or target (e. g. , an unmanned aerial vehicle) for carrying out free space optical communications uses an “elapsed time”-based approach to determine the position of the moving station at any future time, based on the time difference since the moving station's last known position. For example, the vehicle may be for purposes of reconnaissance, where the optical link provides a secure and high-bandwidth communications pathway between the moving station and a ground station. A mathematical model of the moving station's expected periodic flight path is combined with position and time elements to accurately predict the future position of the moving station for target re-acquisition. The model is a cubic spline interpolation of known flight path waypoints. The system may also employ multiple waypoints in initial acquisition, by alternating acquisition attempts over several waypoints instead of “staring” at a single waypoint.
