The Agency for Advanced Research Projects in the field of defense allocated $1 million to develop a laser system , which can operate over long distances despite adverse conditions. This was announced on thewebsiteof Washington University in St.Louis (Missouri), whose specialists received this grant.
„The operation of communication systems and other laser-based technologies can be hampered by adverse conditions such as fog, extreme temperatures or long distances,” said the press release. The university's engineering faculty is "using quantum technology to develop methods by which lasers can be used effectively in such challenging environments."
According to the announcement, according to the terms of the grant, the work of the specialists must be completed within two years.
