Aerospace Technical Support for DARPA Network Modeling and Simulation Program and Cognitive Networks

Abstract

The objective of this project was to provide technical support to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) Network Modeling and Simulation (NMS) technical program. The effort acted as a facilitator for the NMS program by gathering information from program participants to build realistic network models. This effort studied traffic characterizations and mobility required to support future battlefield networking scenarios. Realistic mobility models for an urban battlefield scenario were developed. These models contained sensor nodes, ad hoc ground nodes, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and satellite nodes. This effort also evaluated the suitability for use in military networks, the traffic models and analysis techniques developed by other researchers in the NMS program.
