1. A method to respond to an interrogation from a remote device, the method comprising:
- decoding, by executing an instruction with a processor, both a first code and a request for a description of supported voice capabilities included in a same first signal received at a first time from the remote device via an optical communication link;
when the first code is determined to match a handshake code, determining, by executing an instruction with the processor, a second signal to send via the optical communication link in response to the first signal, the second signal sent at a second time later than the first time, the second signal including a second code responsive to the first code and a response including the description of the supported voice capabilities; and
after the second signal is sent via the optical communication link, exchanging voice communications with the remote device via the optical communication link.

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.

8. A machine readable memory including machine readable instructions which, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations comprising:
-
decoding both a first code and a request for a description of supported voice capabilities included in a same first signal received at a first time 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 to be sent at a second time later than the first time, the second signal including a second code responsive to the first code and a response including the description of the supported voice capabilities; 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 (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. An apparatus to respond to an interrogation from a remote device, the apparatus comprising:
-
memory having machine readable instructions stored thereon; and a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations including; decoding both a first code and a request for a description of supported voice capabilities included in a same first signal received at a first time 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 to be sent at a second time later than the first time, the second signal including a second code responsive to the first code and a response including the description of the supported voice capabilities; 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 (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
