Globally Networked Capabilities

Overview

Net-centricity can be achieved when an environment—including its infrastructure, systems, processes, and people—is globally networked. This allows for a completely different approach to warfighting and business operations. The foundation for net-centricity is the Global Information Grid (GIG), which is a globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, associated processes, and personnel. It is used for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating, and managing information on demand to warfighters, defense policymakers, and support personnel. Many mission-based integration and interoperability issues need to be addressed so the network can be strategically and tactically enabled and managed.

Examples of projects related to this challenge area include:

• Advanced Signal Processing for Wireless Communications
• Airborne Network QoS Management
• Applications of Network Coding in Military Wireless Networks
• Bi-Directional Forwarding Detection for Airborne HAIPE Internet Protocol Networks
• Commercial Communications at the Tactical Edge for the Dismounted Soldier: CCTE(DS)
• Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) Surfaces for Antenna Applications
• Emerging Technologies for VLSI Applications
• Envisioning the Ether: The Battle Commander Spectrum Planner
• Fleet Wireless Network Stability
• Multiple Access Channel Coding for Interference-Limited Communications
• Network Theoretic Approaches for Wireless Systems
• TCAP: Transforming Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) Routers for Airborne Platforms
• WhatsUp Gold for Services-Based Architectures
