摘要:
The invention provides a communication system of voice and data messages between two or more aircraft for managing a flying operation, such as a tanker aircraft (11) and a receiver aircraft (13) during a refueling operation, that can be used in adverse environmental and/or operational conditions. The communication system is implemented by a free space optical data link between both aircraft which is compatible with radio silence conditions since it is not based on radio frequency transmissions and comprises first and a second segments (21, 41) in the first and second aircraft with communication control modules (25, 45) adapted for converting the messages of voice and/or data in electrical signals and vice versa and optical modules (23, 43) adapted for emitting beams of light modulated by said electrical signals and for converting received beams of modulated light in electrical signals.
