Extended Littoral Battlespace (ELB) Secure Network Voice Gateway

Abstract

The Extended Littoral Battlespace (ELB) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) uses wireless Local Area Network (LAN) technology to provide U.S. Marines in the field with multimedia connectivity to shore-based and afloat command and control centers. Computer network voice communication services are being evaluated and demonstrated as part of the ELB project. A gateway is needed for network voice users to communicate with users on other tactical voice and military telephone systems. We describe a scalable network voice gateway based on commercial off-the-shelf technology to be demonstrated as part of the ELB ACTD. Concepts for future capabilities and design issues are also discussed.
