Recent Developments in the Military and Aerospace Fiber Optics Sector:

With fast advances in technology, several key players in the fiber optics market are coming up with ingenious solutions to address the changing needs of modern warfare and aerospace applications. The focus of these developments is on data transmission capabilities, weight reduction, and improving the resistance of fiber-optic systems in harsh environmental conditions.

·        In March 2024, AFL announced million-dollar investments, exceeding USD 50 million, to expand its fiber optic cable manufacturing operation in South Carolina. Such an initiative is expected to be funded under the U.S. government's Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Internet for All programs to bring broadband access to every corner of the country. This extension is likely to create an array of new jobs, boost local economies, and ensure that AFL products comply with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA). This investment is in addition to AFL's earlier commitment of more than USD 35 million to manufacturing cables within the United States. Such investment focuses on promoting broadband deployment and modernization of power grids.

·        In January 2023, AFL, the foremost manufacturer of fiber optic cable and fusion splicing equipment, unveiled a new generation of fusion splicing and fiber preparation equipment during the recently concluded SPIE BiOS and Photonics West exhibitions. Included in the new line are advanced recoaters and cleavers among other equipment designed to enhance fiber preparation and protection for fusion splicing. This new product line is developed to meet the highly technical needs of specialty optical fibers. Such high-performance tools are expected to improve reliability and reproducibility and, thus, provide users greater confidence in fiber optic operations.

·        In April 2023, SEDI-ATI, one of the major manufacturers of fiber optics for the military and aerospace sector launched the fiber optic for optopyrotechnic trains, from coupling the laser into the optical fiber to checking the line's integrity.

·         In November 2024, L3Harris promised important news regarding Electronic Warfare (EW) progress for the U.S. Navy Super Hornet F/A-18. This was the glorified award of an initial contract valued at USD 80 million in 2023 for two major milestone achievements accomplished by the company: Hardware Fit Checks- L3Harris and Boeing proved the hardware fit checks using 3D-printed models at Navy's air test and evaluation unit in Patuxent River, Maryland. This ensured the correct fitment of the Advanced Electronic Warfare (ADVEW) onboard the aircraft and validated the design, allowing for further prototype development. Another kind of test was Simulation Tests at the U.S. Navy's Threat Air Defense Lab (TADL), where the system ADVEW underwent rigorous closed-loop simulation testing against validated threat models over five hard days while showcasing high maturity and efficacy in threat-response capabilities along the way and meeting all requirements.

Key Trend in the Military and Aerospace Fiber Optics Market

Integration of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs)

The advancement of photonic integrated circuits is a paradigm shift in fiber optics by miniaturizing optical components and improving performance levels. The PICs also find incorporation into military communications and avionics as well as electronic warfare platforms in delivering high data rates, lesser power consumption, and increased reliability.

For instance, the AN/ALQ-99 Tactical Jamming System used by the Navy of the United States has had PIC-based fiber optic modules that were enhanced to become more sophisticated in their electronic warfare capabilities, ensuring secure and interference-free communication.

Adoption of Multi-Core Fibers

Military and aerospace sectors are increasingly relying on multi-core fibers for simultaneous transmission of distinct data streams. This type of technology would be instrumental for such high-bandwidth applications as real-time surveillance, drone operation, and satellite communications.

For instance, multi-core fiber optic cables installed on the MQ-9 Reaper would support high-resolution video transmission and real-time target tracking to boost reconnaissance capabilities during missions.
