Abstract
Methods and apparatus for target identification are disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein to respond to a target identification interrogation include aligning an optical transceiver based on a detected optical signal to establish an optical communication link with a target detector, receiving a first signal from the target detector using the optical communication link, extracting a first code from the first signal, and transmitting a second signal using the communication link, wherein the second signal is encoded with a second code based on the first code of the first signal.

2. A method to respond to an interrogation from a remote device, the method comprising:
-
decoding, via a processor, a first code and a request for voice capability information included in a first signal received from the remote device via an optical communication link; when the first code is determined to match a handshake code, determining, via the processor, a second signal to send via the optical communication link in response to the first signal, the second signal including a second code responsive to the first code and a response to the request for voice capability information; and after the second signal is sent via the optical communication link, exchanging voice communications with the remote device via the optical communication link. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A machine readable memory comprising machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
-
decoding a first code and a request for voice capability information included in a first signal received from a remote device via an optical communication link; when the first code is determined to match a handshake code, determining a second signal to send via the optical communication link in response to the first signal, the second signal including a second code responsive to the first code and a response to the request for voice capability information; and after the second signal is sent via the optical communication link, exchanging voice communications with the remote device via the optical communication link. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. An apparatus to respond to an interrogation from a remote device, the apparatus comprising:
-
a memory having machine readable instructions stored thereon; and a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising; decoding a first code and a request for voice capability information included in a first signal received from a remote device via an optical communication link; when the first code is determined to match a handshake code, determining a second signal to send via the optical communication link in response to the first signal, the second signal including a second code responsive to the first code and a response to the request for voice capability information; and after the second signal is sent via the optical communication link, exchanging voice communications with the remote device via the optical communication link. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
