Topic: Net Centric Systems for Tactical Environments
Abstract
The tactical environment provides unique challenges in terms of communication links, connectivity, infra-structure, mobility, scalability, distributed network services as well as tactical application services. For communication links there are unique issues associated with limited bandwidth, asymmetrical and intermittent links, latency, jitter, and beyond line-of-sight issues. These issues provide complex problems for the development and deployment of tactical mobile ad hoc networks that include discovery, routing, network management, scalability, and quality of service in the tactical environment.
This paper looks at how behavioral and performance simulations in a modeling framework that supports system context and user need definition through functional architecture validation to performance simulation in geo-specific databases can provide a method and vehicle for development and early validation of technologies that can effectively address the needs of the warfighter and help to discover unique ways to solve the problems associated with the tactical environment.
