An Approach to a Defense Data Network for the Saudi Ministry of Defense and Aviation

Abstract

Computer and data communication networks have become an integral part of the modern military structure. The technology of its software and hardware change rapidly. As a result, it is of paramount importance for the Saudi Ministry of Defense and Aviation (MODA) to remain abreast of such technology. Due to lack of actual data about MODA requirements, this theme is focused on the general concepts of computer and data communications networks. In addition, this thesis includes a detailed discussion of the U.S. DDN in order to provide guidelines for MODA if similar network design is to be developed. The framework of network-capacity planning is briefly described as well.
