Tactical Mobile Networking
Abstract
This project is for the development of new applications and standards that can be used on existing tactical networks to improve data retrieval and discovery by the tactical warfighter. In addition, research is conducted into tactical communications architectures to develop models useful for optimizing and exploiting tactical networks. New applications and architectures will be tested in a joint federated experimental emulation test bed being developed within this program. Project collaboratively executed by the Navy and Air Force. Results planned for transition to programs of record as maturity of models allow. Research efforts include Wireless Computational Networking Architectures (WCNA), Tactical Edge Protocol Evaluation and Experimentation (TEPEE), Mission Aware Reasoning for Tactical Edge Network Services (MARTENS)/Semantically Augmented Resource Manager (SARM), Dynamic Transport Protocol, Satellite Communications (SATCOM) and Tactical NetOps, MANET Project (with the National Security Agency [NSA]), Cooperative Heterogeneous Communications, Inter-domain Routing, Communications for Autonomous Systems, Network Visualization, Tactical Edge Group-Wise Networking, Advanced Tactical Data Links, Reliable Data Transport, Channel Modeling for Software Defined Radios in Real Atmospheric Environments, and Loss Tolerant Transmission Control Protocol (LT-TCP) for Mobile Wireless Networks. Overall goals: Increase understanding of the condition of tactical mobile networking technologies. Improve specification of technical standards and policy for tactical mobile networking. Refine fidelity modeling and simulation to support operations analysis and the articulation of operational requirements and performance parameters.
