ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / The Edwards Air Force Base Clinic team at Harvey Mudd College designed, built, and tested a
prototype for a laser-based telemetry system. The test data were encoded on a 500 mW 1550 nm
laser aimed at a ground station by a computer-controlled gimbal. The system communicated
from a terrestrial vehicle to a ground station over a distance of 900 m. The extrapolated results
indicate a maximum range of greater than 3000 m. This project emphasized COTS parts to
minimize cost. Suggestions for the next-generation design, with an air-to-ground link, higher
throughput, and greater range, are presented.
