Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) Development
Abstract
WNW is a high data rate Mobile Adhoc Networking (MANET) waveform application that provides the Army’s mid-tier tactical Internet backbone (transit network) and connects tactical forces during Unified Land Operations, particularly in Denied, Degraded, Disrupted, Space Operational Environment (D3SOE). WNW provides high throughput, dynamically adaptable connectivity for the secure exchange of IP based voice, data, and video traffic. WNW has two signals-in-space (SiS), which are the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Anti-Jam (AJ), each with multiple bandwidths. WNW supports network nodes on mobile, airborne, and maritime platforms. WNW includes Type 1 Encryption, networking services, High Assurance IP Equipment (HAIPE) capabilities, red/black switching, and internal routing of other WNW signals. WNW is currently ported on 7 radio platforms with 5 different vendors.
