Communications and position location system and method

A communications and position location system comprising:

• a laser transmitter for radiating a plurality of laser beams upward at convergence angles whereby the laser beams converge at a multi-laser beam free space junction wherein said laser beams are scattered at said free space junction producing scattered laser beam light, the laser transmitter including a data link for transmitting a position of the free space junction;
• and
• a laser receiver pointed at said free space junction to receive the scattered laser beam light, the laser receiver configured for receiving the transmitted position of the free space junction from the laser transmitter and for locating said free space junction based on said transmitted position, the laser receiver further configured for determining a precise location of the laser transmitter upon finding the free space junction;
• wherein the plurality of laser beams form a convergence apex at the free space junction for providing a concentrated laser density area for promoting ability of the receiver to detect the scattered beams.

A method of communicating and position locating with a laser communications and position location system comprising the steps of:

• radiating with a laser transmitter a plurality of laser beams upward at convergence angles whereby the laser beams converge at a free space junction wherein a concentration and a scattering of said laser beams occurs at said free space junction thereby providing scattered laser beam light;
• transmitting with a data link a position of the free space junction for the laser receiver to find the free space junction;
• and
• pointing a laser receiver at said free space junction to receive the scattered laser beam light, wherein the plurality of laser beams form a convergence apex at the free space junction for providing a concentrated laser density area for promoting ability of the receiver to detect the scattered beams.
