Abstract
Overview:
The market for fiber-optic equipment and services in military, government and
aerospace is expected to be a growth business for the next decade.
The major market for fiber optics until now has been in the telecommunications
field. However, increased competition between systems, subsystems, and
component suppliers has forced down prices, lowering profits and margins.
Optical equipment suppliers are looking to new markets to improve their bottom
lines and capabilities. Despite this, new technology continues to be developed
at a rapid rate. Fortunately, much of this technology is applicable to the
defense, aerospace, and Homeland Security fields. Much of the information on
government projects is not readily available and is scattered among a wide
range of sources. The Military and Aerospace Fiber Optics Monthly Newsletter
will search out and report this hard to find information on a regular basis.
The MAFO newsletter will cover all applications of fiber optics, including
communications, control, computer networks, lighting, sensors, radar,
surveillance, security, and many more. The MAFO newsletter will be a necessary
marketing tool for those already providing optical equipment and services to
the defense, aerospace, and Homeland Security business, as well as those firms
considering entering these fields.
