Mobile Ad Hoc Interoperability Networking GATEway (MAINGATE)

Abstract

Building upon gateway technology developed under the WNaN and Future Combat Systems (FCS) Communications program, the Mobile Ad hoc Interoperability Networking GATEway (MAINGATE) program developed the next generation Network Centric Radio System (NCRS) with additional capabilities. MAINGATE enables heterogeneous groups of radios to be integrated into a heterogeneous network tolerant to high latency and packet loss. The technologies developed for the program permit affordable, tactical, real-time, and high-fidelity video, data, and voice services for deployment in a networked environment to support tactical operations in maneuvering or dismounted operations for line-of-sight (LOS) and beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications, both on the move (OTM) and at the halt (ATH). The resulting MAINGATE system and capability is under evaluation for possible transition for the U.S. Army.
