A Multimedia over IP Integrated System for Military Communications

Abstract

The leading role of a common IP-based infrastructure, able to sustain the increasing communications and information superiority, requires the use of a flexible and dynamically-matching communications architecture, especially when the new concepts of Network Enabled Capabilities and Network Centric Warfare are taken in consideration. Modern technologies make it possible to enhance the Network role, as an integrator of platforms and systems. With the NEC approach much attention is however paid to maintain the assets of the already existing legacy systems. It has to be stressed how communications requirements raise dramatically now, either in quantity either in quality, in order to effectively improve sensor capabilities, decision tools, weapons lethality and information warfare. This new approach is therefore essential to grant superior decision making, power projection and protection.
