Emerging Commercial Mobile Wireless Technology and Standards: Suitable for the Army?

Abstract

The primary objectives of this report were the following: (1) to evaluate the suitability of commercial wireless technology (products, services, waveforms and protocols, components, and standards) for Army tactical applications, (2) to recommend areas where Army 6.1/6.2 research funding might yield solutions to wireless communications problems that are of particular concern for the military and thus unlikely to be addressed by industry-funded research, and (3) to explain the competing factors (tradeoffs) that must be weighed when selecting between alternative systems or technological solutions, and to suggest a general methodology for understanding these tradeoffs.
