Agile Comms
Abstract
Agile Comms supports the application of open standards, multi-function processors, and advanced apertures over an Enterprise-wide Aerial Network, enabling all platforms to share combat-relevant data/info to, from and within the Highly Contested Environment (HCE) regardless of the data link and messages format that they are operating on. It supports the application of open standards, multi-function processors, and advanced apertures over the Enterprise-wide Aerial Network, enables all platforms to share combat relevant data/info to, from and within the Highly Contested Environment. This includes supporting the development of airborne gateways. Agile Comms further includes initial integration of advanced communications and networking capabilities onto tactically-relevant aircraft. Finally, this effort supports planning, data collection, development and analysis for initial technology maturation experimentation campaign. Combat Tactical Edge Network (CTEN) effort within Agile Comms addresses unique challenges of DoD networks by using content routing to establish connections between heterogeneous networks across different media and domains. It is a software (SW) overlay network that routes data within and between permissive, contested, and highly contested environments. To meet the needs of the DoD Networks and in the future CTEN will be integrated on various platforms allowing the flexibility to support various missions. The effort will also continue to support message translation allowing the flexibility to Message transforms and extensible markup languages (XMLs) development. Additional work will continue to support advanced non proprietary antenna apertures supporting various missions. Work will continue in the study/analysis of a ATDL waveform to meet the needs of the modern warfighter.
