Investigating the Quality of Service of Current and Future Tactical Information Exchanges - Net Warrior
Abstract
A series of Net Warrior exercises is planned to build, demonstrate and enhance Australian Defence Force Network Centric Warfare (NCW) interoperability. Under the auspices of Task CIO 07/042 and as part of a student vactional work experience project this report describes the use and functionality of the Quality of Service (QoS) software tool developed by Adelaide University under a DSTO contract funded by the AEW&C Project. It realistically characterises the radio communication environment in the tactical battlespace, and with the use of a Rosetta Gateway can be used in future Net Warrior exercises involving Tactical Digital Information Links (TADIL) between nodes (ie. mission system test-beds) within DSTO. Using Rosetta together with the QoS software the report also analizes a possible future scenario using current and future data links comparing the tranfer rates over time and hop counts between point to point and networked connections between two nodes. In this case the report shows an improvement in the quality of service and reliability in a possible future Global Information Grid Environment where nodes are ideally networked.
