Tactical Network Integration Test Framework.

摘要

Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) will play a significant role in future tactical military networks. These tactical networks are required to support military operations and communications on-the-move in the mobile ad-hoc environment. They are also characterized by frequent changes in network topology, time varying bandwidth, interference and intermittent link blockage. The self-forming and self-healing nature of MANETs is therefore advantageous in a tactical military network. The DoD's evolving tactical network architecture is expected to extend Global Information Grid (GIG) services to the forward edge. To accomplish this, it will be necessary to interconnect heterogeneous tactical networks. The interconnection of these networks requires a scalable routing architecture with routing protocols that can support the frequent topological changes of a tactical environment.
