Tactical Networking Evolution and Expansion
Abstract
(NCCP Sunset - Final Report) This project is for the development of new applications and approaches that can be used on existing tactical networks to improve the physical and networking layers for the tactical warfighter. It will explore new ways to build architectures, antennas, and signal and data processing or exploit waveforms to improve Anti-Jam resistance, network throughput and scale, or network packet routing, and improve these metrics at low cost and without sacrificing interoperability. Research efforts include Joint Aerial Layer Network (JALN) Network Management/Control Concept Analysis, Advanced Tactical High-Performance Network Architecture (ATHENA), Network Radio Characterization Limited Objective Experiment (LOE), Multi-Function Wave Form (Resilient Electronic Warfare [EW] /Communications[Comms]), and the Asymmetric Broadcast Command and Control System (ABC2) Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) Demonstration. Overall goal: Next generation tactical networking in the fielded tactical systems, with vastly increased capabilities, at the lowest cost possible to the DoD.
