UnderwAter optical wireless communication network architecture empowered by adVanced opticAl materiaLs for sea bOrder protection and deep-sea exploratioN

AVALON objective and pillars

To bring the 6G Quality of Experience to Underwater Military Communications

Pillar I

Beyond Shannon reliable and energy efficient underwater communications with sensing capabilities that reach the Cramer-Rao bound through optical wireless links and energy harvesting.

Pillar II

Going beyond the underwater line-of-sight while achieving the 7 nines in system’s reliability and fulfilling the 100 m dream.

Pillar III

Reaching the Pareto optimal through machine learning (ML)-based autonomous operation and pro-active optimization.
