Tactical Communications For The Digitized Battlefield

From The Critics

Ryan and Frater (both electrical engineering, U. of New South Wales- Australian Defence Force Academy) develop an architecture for modern land commanders that establishes a flexible environment to support the development and acquisition of future battle-space communications systems, and to modify and enhance existing systems to migrate to the target architecture. They consider the need for such an architecture, the communications technology used, land force structures, tactical communications, and the communications architecture itself. Then they look at tactical trunk, combat radio, tactical data distribution, and tactical airborne subsystems and at tactical network interfaces. Annotation c.
