I like the fact Ajit has expressed this at Deftronics 2015: "This is a very disruptivve technology. It has very serious applications for defense"......"we told them about our technology. How this can disrupt the roadmap for the US, for the Indian defense. So I think there was a reception was very good, again the time will tell, how it goes further."

BAE has history with POET from the OPEL / ODIS days, but there is now some focus on the roadshow represented by the dream team of POET's CEO, COO, and both Co-Chairmans. Compare page 10 from the current POET Corporate Overview with the focus on Segment Value Propositions and how that matches up with the NASA document below:

NASA Application(s):(Limit 100 words or 1,000 characters whichever is less) TheNASAapplications ofmostimportance are

1.Phased array communication systems for satellite to satellite links

2.Phased array radars forterrain mapping, surveillance, andsatellite control

3.Infrared focal plane arrays for thermalmapping of foreign bodies

4.High performance data processors and cpu's for onboardsatellite computers

5.Opticalrouters, optical switching fabrics and opticalfiber interfaces forsatellite internalwiring

6.Optical transceivers, optical FPGA's (field programmable gate arrays), opticalmemories and optical bus networks

7.Optoelectronic IC's to reduce power and enable much higher clock speed forsynchronoussystems

8.Highspeedoptical AD converters

Non-NASA CommercialApplication(s):

1.Next generation microprocessors. This is a huge global market ($400B) and iscurrently constrained by the saturation of the feature size. POET will replacemost of these designs

2.Universal memory technology to combine static, dynamic and non-volatile memory functions

3.Optical transceiver market

4.Fiber to thehome market

5.Highspeed data center. The POET processorwillserve as the baseline technology for the next generation ofhigh speed servers

6.Telecommunicationswill use POETROADm's, POET optical switching fabrics and optical routers

7.High density memory - the POET thyristorwill provide the universal memory technology as a basis for newsystem architectures

8.IR focal plane arrays formultiple markets including automotive.

9.The mobile electronic platform including smartphones , tabletsand pads. ThePOET circuit will consolidate the processors into a singlechip providing both RF and digital functions

10.All RF systems. For example the emergingwireless market at 60GHz is a perfect opportunityfor POET as it is well within the bandwidthand allows POETto use radio over fiber techniques to perform the main distribution function.

11.The internet of things. POET is swellpositioned todominate thisexpansion ofelectronics into everyday control functions
