Extending the Ground Force Network: Aerial Layer Networking

Abstract

Current and planned space and terrestrial network assets cannot sufficiently provide the robust network required to support mobile Marine Corps ground forces. Additionally adversaries continue to gain technological parity in disrupting or nullifying space and terrestrial networks. Therefore an alternative such as aerial networks must be explored specifically as a supportable concept or operations for the Marine Corps, which will ultimately mitigate current capability gaps for highly mobile ground forces throughout the Marine Corps.
