  • radio to router interface technology and its applicability on the tactical edge
    IEEE Communications Magazine, 2012
    Co-Authors: Bownan Cheng, James Wheeler, Leonid Veytser
    Abstract:

    Tactical wireless and mobile networks are the primary networking infrastructure in the global information grid (GIG) to provide end-to-end connectivity to the warfighters at the tactical edge. The highly dynamic nature of tactical edge networks raise a number of challenging issues related to data transport and service delivery in the tactical environment. To address some of these issues, DoD waveforms have increasingly leveraged layer 2 link information to make smart cross-layer multihop routing decisions. Although there has been some measure of success in providing higher end-to-end data delivery, the lack of standard interfaces between the radio and router have led to interoperability issues in environments with a heterogeneous mix of radio systems. As a result, there has been increased desire to standardize radio-to-router interfaces (R2RIs) as a means to separate radio and router functionality and to allow greater interoperability between systems. In this article, we examine three R2RI protocols currently being vetted through the Internet Engineering Task Force and currently integrated or under consideration in DoD radio systems (RFC 5578, R2CP, and DLEP), and identify their current use and applicability in the tactical edge. Furthermore, we identify some challenges in implementing any R2RI scheme into emerging systems.

  • the airborne network definition project a network architecture effort for future battlefield networks that enable network centric warfare
    Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2007
    Co-Authors: Bishwaroop Ganguly, Leonid Veytser, S G Finn, Jeffrey Mclamb, Wayne M Bynoe, Igor Pedan, Jeremy Mineweaser, Steven A Davidson
    Abstract:

    The Airborne Network Definition (AND) project had the goal of creating and testing a robust, efficient network architecture networking all elements of the battlefield. This effort has since been generalized to fit the goals of the Mobile Edge Network System Architecture (MENSA) effort. The network is designed to be self-contained, attaching to fixed backbone infrastructure whenever possible. The fundamental building block of the architecture is the Small Combat Network (SCN), which integrates heterogeneous ground and air platforms, facilitating collaborative applications such as Blue Force Tracking, Cooperative Sensing and Targeting. The architecture uses the concept of an IP core to network unlike domains (radio types) and to connect the SCN to the backbone and the global information grid (GIG). This paper describes the requirements of the network and outlines the technical design of the SCN architecture. We present step-by-step descriptions of a communication on the SCN which highlights some of the key features of the architecture. We present results of a simulation that applies our proposed architecture to realistic warfighting scenarios. Results show that the architecture enables cooperative applications and point to future work that will design and evaluate a deployable AN network architecture.

  • service computing in global information grid
    Journal of Computer Applications, 2006
    Co-Authors: Qin Zhiguang
    Abstract:

    GIG is different from common grid for emphasizing how to implement and join seamlessly information producing,processing and publishing in large-scale military applications.In GIG,theory and technology of Service-Oriented Computing(SOC) hold a important position.SOC is a new computing pattern that varies from Object-Oriented Computing(OOC) and Component-Oriented Computing(COC).SOC emphasizes the dynamic capability,agility and interoperability.Based on the discussion of the concept of GIG and its elements,the notion and principle of SOC were studied.The difference between SOC and OOC was also investigated in this paper.How to apply SOC to GIG and how to combine SOC with traditional technologies were also explored.Finally,some issues about using SOC in GIG were proposed.

  • key challenges of military tactical networking and the elusive promise of manet technology
    IEEE Communications Magazine, 2006
    Co-Authors: Jack L Burbank, Brian Haberman, P F Chimento, William Kasch
    Abstract:

    Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are considered by many as fundamental to realizing the global information grid (GIG) and the vision of network-centric warfare. Indeed, a fully realized MANET would be powerful in enabling highly mobile, highly responsive, and quickly deployable tactical forces. However, significant technical challenges remain before this realization is viable. Addressing these deficiencies is a significant task that will require the invention and adoption of new technology. The goal of this article is not to declare these capabilities impossible to achieve. Rather, it is to manage the expectation of the capabilities achievable in the foreseeable future through edification on the technical difficulties standing between current technology and the desired capabilities. This article provides an overview of the military MANET problem space, describing the ideal military MANET solution. Several deficiencies are highlighted that exist between MANET technologies and the desired capability. Identified technical issues include system-level architecture, routing (both interior and exterior), management, security, and medium access control (MAC), with an emphasis on the former two areas

  • connecting enclaves across the global information grid utilizing layer 3 virtual private networking protocols
    Military Communications Conference, 2005
    Co-Authors: Brian Haberman
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a modification to the routing architecture within the global information grid (GIG). Primarily, the goal is to simplify the deployment and reachability of sub-networks deployed behind security gateways. We propose the application of commercially supported layer-3 virtual private networking (L3-VPN) protocols to inter-connect collaborating enclaves. Such an approach alleviates many issues introduced by hiding these enclaves' IP addresses. The application of L3-VPN to the problem allows for the re-use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products, protocols, and tools to reduce the overall cost of deploying and managing the GIG
