TAC C4 TECHNOLOGY INT

Abstract

This project matures and demonstrates key communications, mobile networking technologies, including antennas, radio components, and networking software to enable commanders and individual Soldiers to survive and fight by providing secure, reliable, mobile communications network solutions that function in complex and diverse terrains. Efforts here concentrate on three major goals: to provide a series of technology demonstrations of new and emerging Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) technology enabled capabilities to significantly reduce risk associated with the network?of-networks concept; to provide critical links in the ability to communicate and move large amounts of information across the force structure in a seamless, integrated manner conducive to a highly mobile manned and unmanned force structure; and to assess the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of emerging network technologies in an operationally relevant environment. Several tasks are conducted in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the other Services. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Fort Monmouth, NJ and Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
