Mobile Advanced-network Laboratory for Tactics and Applications (MALTA)
Abstract
MALTA will develop technology that enables tactical and expeditionary operations to quickly integrate and rapidly deploy tactical, resilient networks in hostile environments. Based on technologies developed under the Secure Handhelds on Assured Resilient networks at the tactical Edge (SHARE) program, also budgeted in this PE/Project, MALTA solves long-standing problems of rapidly setting up forward-deployed expeditionary networks through the use of advanced commercial wireless networking technologies (e.g., 5G and 5G+) to replace current siloed, outdated, and hard to manage systems. Instead of recreating datalinks, waveforms, or networking technology, MALTA will bring to the tactical and operational setting fully authenticated core network capabilities that, shortly after deployment, enable operators to move and process information and interact with coalition partners without the need for weeks of planning and configuration time. Technologies from MALTA will transition to the Services.
