NATO member states have successfully tested Astrolight’s POLARIS laser communication terminal, demonstrating its undetectable and jam-proof capabilities in maritime scenarios. This system is designed to facilitate stealthy ship-to-ship communication in contested environments, ensuring secure links that are impervious to sensors, even in adverse weather conditions. From an Indian strategic perspective, this advancement highlights the pressing need for Indo-Pacific navies to bolster their defenses against increasing electronic warfare threats, particularly GPS jamming that could disrupt operations in critical sea lanes. Enhancing operational resilience and maintaining emission control are essential for achieving multi-domain superiority in high-stakes maritime operations.
