Self-configuration Management System Design for Tactical Battlefield Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
As the impetus to extend computer and communications as far possible into the battlefield continues to grow, con.guration management of these computer and communication networks becomes a challenging task. The challenges stem mainly from the volatile connectivity (due to network element failures) and sporadic mobility (due to the dynamics of the battlefield theatre). Thispaperproposes a self-configuration management system for such battlefield networks. The issues addressed and resolved by the proposed design are: (a) selj-conjlguration the abili~ to adapt and configure the network without human intervention when the network elements relocate, and (b) robustness the ability to provide continued service in the midst of random network facility failures.

Today, achieving collaborative tactical planning on the battlefield presents a significant challenge in the new DoD Net-Centric systems-of-systems (SoS) and the futuristic integrated and adaptive C4ISR systems-of-systems. The primary reason is that in a Net-Centric environment both manned and unmanned heterogeneous platforms and robotic systems must work side-byside with the warfighters, but th...
