Highly Networked Force
Abstract
A highly networked and enabled force increases efficiency, effectiveness, and safety by making relevant information available when it is needed and at the appropriate location (person/platform/system). Accomplishing this depends on providing reliable wireless communications to all U.S. forces, platforms, and devices in all phases of conflict. The Highly Networked Force program seeks to overcome key limitations of current technology to realize the fully network-enabled force by addressing issues such as: lack of coverage due to operation in challenged locations or loss of relays or links; lack of connectivity due to networks that cannot keep up with the high rate of change; and lack of assured connectivity due to the impact of misbehaving networks and devices. Technologies developed under this program will be transitioned to the Services.
