Military operations become more and more complex. Information overload, and uncompleted and uncertain data made military information system design a challenge that would confer or withhold information superiority. The latter could represent military superiority especially in complex warfare such as urban operations or counterterrorism. This paper proposes a process for military information syst...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of sensor nodes. These networks have huge application in habitat monitoring, disaster management, security and military, etc. Wireless sensor nodes are very small in size and have limited processing capability and very low battery power. This restriction of low battery power makes the sensor network prone to failure. Data aggregation is a very crucial tec...

Unmanned ground vehicle is an autonomous vehicle that mainly capable to do tasks independent of humans. Automated vehicle works during off road navigation and mainly used in military operations. The radio environment on electrically small platforms is changing rapidly. In order to support high speed audio and video, processing needs higher data rates concerned with sending and receiving data pa...

A systems engineering development for acquisition, transmission, processing, dissemination and display of information vital to combat casualty care and related first responder activities is presented. It utilizes a synergistic combination of two existing state-of-the-art Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency/Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego (DARPA/SSCSD) technologies (Sensat...

With EO-1 Hyperion and MightySat in orbit NASA and the DoD are showing their continued commitment to hyperspectral imaging (HSI). As HSI sensor technology continues to mature, the ever-increasing amounts of sensor data generated will result in a need for more cost effective communication and data handling systems. Lockheed Martin, with considerable experience in spacecraft design and developing...

Multicast networking support is becoming an increasingly important technology area for both commercial and military distributed or group-based applications. The underlying delivery mechanism for IP multicast is presently the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or raw IP packets. At present, these mechanisms provide a "best effort" delivery service. Best effort implies that IP packets are treated with ...
