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...

Abstract: While the technology of warfare is constantly changing, particularly in the areas of weapons, equipment, mobility, and communications, the fundamental structure of military organizations has remained stable since Roman times. In this paper we present an ontology of the basic categories and relationships needed to represent modern military organizations (i.e. government-sponsored nonpa...

The rapid evolution of commercial wireless communications technology has resulted in capabilities that far surpass their military counterparts in many ways. Thus, the military community is increasingly interested in leveraging commercial technologies and techniques to address its communications needs. In fact, one need look only at today’s trends in the commercial domain to understand tomorrow’...

This paper presents a combination of Free Space Optic systems with WLAN and Satellite Communications to provide Video conferencing and data transfer for use in Civil Military Cooperation and disaster recovery applications. A modular communication system developed at TU Graz is described, which facilitates worldwide access to the Internet or any other network (depending on the particular applica...

Practical implications Politicians should not underestimate autonomous military processes or the significance of standing orders. In order to continually produce communications within the military, communication partners are needed that stand outside of the hierarchy, and this role can be fulfilled by an enemy. A reflexively imagined enemy can thus reinforce the autopoiesis of the military subs...

Military tactical communications systems will be facing great challenges in the near future. Performance of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technologies is improving at fast pace while at the same time life cycles of military equipment seem to remain long. The goal of this paper is to highlight a few interesting applications where development efforts of cognitive radio (CR), wireless sensor net...

This article presents a systematic review carried out around the development of technologies that have driven military communication, describing evolution communication equipment and protocols used throughout history. work was from 80 articles related to field militarycommunications, which fundamentals different technologies, means were extracted. It is concluded technological progress has impr...

This paper analyses the feasibility and potential future of Iran’s satellite development project using Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR). United Nations Security Council (UNSC), The USA Iranian government were selected as three main decision makers. list rank-based preferences was generated each maker based on their priorities arguments during various negotiations carried out throughou...

In this paper, a new scheme for the simulation of tactical communications systems is introduced where the mobility, call and availability patterns for the communications equipment are generated by using the data inferred from the joint theater level battle simulations. In this technique, the mobility, strength and posture data related to military units are stored in a database by a military con...

Free Space Optical (FSO) communications use modulated collimated light energy, usually in the form of an infrared (IR) laser, to transmit data. This affords FSO many appealing qualities such as a very high bandwidth capability, a high level of security through a low probability of detection (LPD) and a low probability of intercept (LPI), and a signal that is impervious to radio frequency (RF) i...
