We propose to develop an efficient, low-profile, compact, rugged, reliable lightweight and stowable sunlighting system that can operate as a sunlighting daylight solution for shelters. The revolutionary low-profile concentrating tale system, built of simple, durable components that will concentrate sunlight to a large core multimode optical fiber cable at industry-leading efficiencies. In addition, the integration of low-profile trackers with the sunlighting tale enables deployment of sunlighting system in locations that have hitherto been impossible, such as in high wind areas, and on the roofs and facades of shelters. The proposed approach aims at optimizing the sunlighting tale system design and material to enable it to meet the efficiency, cost, durability and ruggedization specifications that a forward fielded military system requires. This is the first time to our knowledge such a sunlighting system design structure is proposed.
