Wireless Military Communications-NNEC Enabler

The paper discusses the NATO Network Enabled Capability concept, mainly from the communication point of view. The changes involve complete new requirements on the role of command and control to increase flexibility and effectiveness. Integration of Modeling and Simulation with Command, Control, and Information Systems increases the number of risks but it promises to leverage the projected capab...

Military Communications and Information Systems Conference

The goal of this paper is to present innovative image applications that will be available on future high data rate HF transmissions. Fitting in the considerations and studies carried out currently on future HF transmissions, for instance within NATO groups, these new image applications are currently under development in the EDA HDR-HF project, which aims at developing new communication technolo...

Military Speech Communications over Vocoders in Tandem

Speech intelligibility of two types of vocoders was measured using the modified rhyme test. One type of vocoder, a continuous variable slope delta (CVSD), was a waveform encoder. The other type, an advanced multi-band excitation (AMBE), was a parametric encoder. In the first experiment, clear speech was processed through the vocoders. Intelligibility was measured in a control condition, i.e. wi...

Recognizing Connotative Meaning in Military Chat Communications

Over the last five to seven years the use of chat in military contexts has expanded quite significantly, in some cases becoming a primary means of communicating time-sensitive data to decision makers and operators. For example, during humanitarian operations with Joint Task Force-Katrina, chat was used extensively to plan, task, and coordinate predeployment and ongoing operations. The informal ...
