Communications Network Analysis Tool

Abstract

The Communications Network Analysis Tool (CNAT) is a set of computer programs that aids in the performance evaluation of a communication system in a real-world scenario. Communication network protocols can be modeled and battle group connectivity can be analyzed in the presence of jamming and the benefit of relay platforms can be studied. The Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) Communication system architecture is currently being modeled, however the computer software is modular enough to allow substitution of new code representative of prospective communication protocols.
