Networked Communications Analysis
Abstract
Threats to communication systems emanate from a variety of sources, encompassing electromagnetic, cyber, and kinetic elements, among others. The central objective of research and development in network communications is to guide the Services, partners, and industry towards the creation of fully networked and integrated capabilities that exhibit interoperability, resilience, and security. This involves the strategic identification and acceleration of critical technologies, leading to their transition to both strategic and tactical forces. The ultimate goal is to ensure that C3 systems are trusted, accessible, and reliable anywhere, anytime, and under any conditions for tactical to strategic missions, thereby enhancing the lethality of the warfighting force. In the face of peer aggressors armed with advanced kinetic and non-kinetic threats, the imperative for trusted and reliable C3 becomes even more pronounced. This capability is viewed not only as a critical deterrence measure but also as essential for providing a decisive and lethal response when required, spanning tactical to strategic missions.
