Wireless Network Defense
Abstract
A highly networked and enabled force increases efficiency, effectiveness, and safety by making relevant information available when it is needed and at the appropriate location (person/platform/system). Accomplishing this depends on providing reliable wireless communications to all U.S. forces, platforms, and devices in all phases of conflict. As part of the Advanced Networks technologies effort, the Wireless Network Defense program increased wireless network capacity and reliability for tactical users, with the ultimate vision of making high quality data services pervasive throughout the DoD. The primary focus was mitigation of advanced threats particular to the security of wireless networks. The program leveraged the capabilities of the dynamic network to identify sources of misinformation, whether malicious or due to poor configuration, across the functional components of the complex system, and mitigated the corresponding effects. Technologies developed under this program transitioned to the Services.
