Tactical Mobile Networking

Abstract

This project is for the development of new applications and standards that can be used on existing tactical networks to improve data retrieval and discovery by the tactical warfighter. In addition, research is being conducted into tactical communications architectures to develop models useful for optimizing and exploiting tactical networks. New applications and architectures will be tested in a joint federated experimental emulation test bed being developed within this program. Project collaboratively executed by the Navy and Air Force. Results planned for transition to programs of record as maturity of models allow. Research efforts include Wireless Computational Networking Architecture, Heterogeneous Intelligent Filtering Extensions (HIF), Cooperative Heterogeneous Comms, Inter-domain Routing, Tactical Edge Group Wise Networking, SATCOM and Tactical NetOps, Tactical Edge Protocol Evaluation and Experimentation, Channel Modeling for Software Defined Radios in Real Atmospheric Environments, and Communications for Autonomous Systems. Overall goal: Increase understanding of the condition of tactical mobile networking technologies. Improve specification of technical standards and policy for tactical mobile networking. Refine fidelity modeling and simulation to support operations analysis and the articulation of operational requirements and performance parameters.
