Optical disk storage offers several advantages which are critical to tactical military applications. These advantages include: high data storage capacity, immunity to head crashes and data loss due to vibration and shock, fast random data access, removable recording media and reduced susceptibility to nuclear radiation effects. In order to fully develop and demonstrate these inherent features, and R&D program was initiated entitled: Tatical Optical Disk System (TODS). Under this program, a suite of three advanced Development Models (ADM) will be developed, flight tested and transitioned to the Air Force. A rewritable storage material, based on magneto-optics (M-O) technology, was selected since it provides a user with the ability to read, write and erase digital data. Currently, the TODS equipment suite will use both 5.25 and 14-inch diameter recording material on a glass substrate for better performance under.
