ARLA/CLUSTER: Por que a Marinha vê no Código Morse como o futuro da comunicação

Why navy sees Morse Code as the future of communication

Engineering reports that for centuries, mariners around the globe have used
lamps and shutters to beam messages via Morse code from ship to ship. But
today, Morse code isn’t being learned by every sailor, even though lamp
light communication is still being used

So, how we reconcile these two facts? Well, if you’re the U.S. Navy you
update your lamp light communication systems to encode the modern form of
Morse code: texting.

In a test recent carried out aboard the USS Stout, the U.S. Navy used a new
mechanism it calls the Flashing Light to Text Converter (FLTC) system.
During the test, sailors aboard the Stout fired off text messages and the
FLTC converted them to their Morse code lamp light signals which were
interpreted by the USS Monterey, moored at a dock in Norfolk, Virginia.

"The best part of this flashing light converter is how easy it is for
sailors to use," said Scott Lowery, a Naval Surface Warfare Center
engineer. "It's very intuitive because it mirrors the messaging systems
used on iPhones. You just type your message and send it with the push of a
button."
