http://www.dominionlaser.com I saw a presentation from these guys at a network "dog-and-pony" show. Based on their vague comments on its development, it sounds like they originally developed this technology for the Navy, but now are trying to commercialize it. Their big claim to fame is that the electronics (including the laser) are connected to an optical "antenna" by fiber so that the electronics don't have to be exposed to the elements. They claim that their technology can cut through all but 100% fog, when the rain is falling at 6in/hr etc. etc (This is where the vague comments about being able to communicate between ships in a storm without being detected by DF equipment were made). The stuff is pretty expensive, however ($ 10K). -- Neil Johnson PGP key available on request.
