Inspired by social animals, such as ants, bees and fish, which appear to exhibit what has been dubbed ‘swarm intelligence’, swarm robotic systems aim to accomplish goals that are unachievable by an individual robot. Swarm robotics have a large number of potential uses, including applications in the military, monitoring, disaster relief, healthcare and commercial applications. To be able to achi...

Communications On The Move (COTM) has increased dramatically in the last years. The need for broadband connectivity on vessels, aircraft and ground vehicles has demanded new terminals that can provide this services. Along with these needs, there are physical and security considerations that need to be taken in account. Military campaigns are specially prone to the use of COTM. Military personne...

Electromagnetic devices are ubiquitous in present day technology. Indeed, electromagnetism has found and continues to find applications in a wide array of areas, encompassing both civilian and military purposes. Among the former, applications of current interest include those related to communications (e.g. transmission through optical fiber lines), to biomedical devices and health (e.g. tomogr...

There are many well-adapted commercial simulation tools for speci c problem domains. Many vendors concentrate on manufacturing, communications, and computer networks applications. The NPS Platform Foundation is a tool for modeling military platform engagements, and will support construction of a wide variety of models where platforms, sensors, humans, tactics, and information ow are important.

This paper presents the System for internal communication and its functional compatibility with embedded subsystems inside command armored vehicle. The discusses about possible effects of different types electromagnetic interference on use device potential solution. Analysis obtained results checks aim presentation modernity, perspective ability to meet rising demands in future heterogeneous ne...

The idea of vehicle-highway communications sufficient to assume driving functions for the driver is not new. Researchers have articulated both its value and feasibility for several decades; and military and vehicle manufacturer test facility developments have proven the concept’s viability. As mounting congestion conflicts with environmental constraints, the Automated Highway System (AHS) promi...

This paper considers measurement and track fusion (tracklet) methods for combining sensor data in a military netted sensors context involving a small number of surveillance sensors in which the available communications bandwidth is limited. It is concluded that tracklets methods have potential in netted sensor applications, in particular for sensors with high data rate and/or low measurement di...

Modern military uses of antennas have presented new challenges to the antenna designer. Only a decade ago, specific band antennas, or tall whips, met the needs of most communications, electronic warfare (EW) and surveillance applications. But with new needs and transceiver technologies, antennas have new challenges: wideband; small; and agile platforms, for software-defined radio (SDR) and mode...

Two important recent trends in military and civilian communications have been the increasing tendency to base operations around an internal network, and the increasing threats to communications infrastructure. This combination of factors makes it important to study the robustness of network topologies. We use graph-theoretic concepts of connectivity to do this, and argue that node connectivity ...
