Description

The proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and the fielding of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) over the last decade have greatly increased deployment of Military Wireless Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs). These wireless MANETs have tremendous potential to address the continuous demand for increased available bandwidth of real-time battlefield networking and multi-sensor data fusion. In addition, MANETs have evolved considerably over the two decades since their inception and although the technology was confined to DOD applications until recently, it is currently gaining considerable traction in the commercial market with the advent of new wireless standards such as IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.22.
