  • Military communications for future warfare have limited resources but highly requirements. MANET has a lot of advantages for future military network due to easily deploying without infrastructure and supporting dynamic topology in restricted environments. But, one of the biggest issues for MANET is difficulty of transmitting data due to link failure in dynamic topology. Content Centric Networking is a future Internet paradigm which solves various IP network problem. In this paper, we propose a future military communication routing scheme using CCN in military tactical MANET. Simulation results show our scheme gets lower control message overhead and faster data downloads as number of node increases and mobile speed increases than other two schemes.

  • Kill Chain is getting attention due to North Korea's recent nuclear test and missile launches and has emerged the need for an early build up. In order to build a materialized kill chain, you should review the unique kill chain to support operations effectively using various sensors and striking weapon system. Especially, you need a suitable network to reduce a reaction time against the enemy attack under joint operations environment etc. Currently there are many communication ways(e.g. data link, voice, video and text message) used in operations through satellite, wired and wireless and so on. Now, this paper contains analysis on various means for target information exchange which are used in the kill chain. And appropriate network of the kill chain for target information transmission is addressed to confirm feasibility of its alternatives, which is developed using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). Finally, this paper is suggesting network and means of its building up for target information transmission of kill chain which can be implemented under the situation of joint battle field.

  • Technologies for disaster management are highly sought areas for research and commercial deployment. Landslides, Flood, cyclones, earthquakes, forest fires and road/train accidents are some causes of disasters. Capturing video and accessing data in real time from the disaster site can help first responders make split second decisions which may save human lives and valuable resource destructions. In this context the communication technologies performing the task should have high bandwidth and low latency which only 5G can deliver. But unfortunately in India, deployment of the 5G mobile communication systems is yet to give a shape and again in remote areas unavailability of 4G signals is still severe. In this situation the authors have proposed, simulated and experimented a 4G-5G communication scheme where from the disaster site the signals will be transmitted by a 5G terminal to a nearby 4G-5G gateway installed in a mobile vehicle. The received 5G signal will be further relayed by the 4G-5G gateway to the fixed 4G base station for onward transmission towards the disaster management station for decision making, deployment and relief monitoring. The 4G-5G gateway acts as a relay and converter of 5G signal to 4G signal and vice versa. This relayed system can be further mounted on a vehicle mounted relay (VMR) as proposed by 3GPP in Release 18. The scheme is also in the same line of context with Verizon's, "Tactical Humanitarian Operations Response" (THOR) vehicle concept. The performance of the link is studied in different channel conditions, the throughput achieved is superb. The authors have implemented the above mentioned system towards smart campus networking and monitoring landslides activities which are common in their regions.

  • Recently, ICT environments have been increasingly developed and the pattern of the war also has been changed to NCW. The development of communication and network technology, for example, C4I and TDL(Tactical Data Link), has been prosperous and rapid. But the geospatial intelligence field which is the basis of the network frames relatively has not been developed. The purpose of this paper is to foster the geospatial governance in terms of the defense perspective. In order to do that, this paper deals with the U.S. Intelligence Community(IC) and the U.S. Army Global Information Grid(GIG), LandWarNet and those could be good examples of roles and statuses of geospatial intelligence. IC has been produced essential intelligence which is required for policymakers and military leaders. IC has several stove-piped intelligence process systems which have been separately developed and competed. And so as to complete GIG, the U.S. Army adopted LandWarNet. The U.S. Corps of Engineers organized the Army Geospatial Center(AGC) on 1 October 2009 to support LandWarNet. In order to develop NCW, we should recognize geospatial intelligence as the basis of network framework and make a central leading organization of defense geospatial intelligence. The mission of Korea Defense Geospatial-Intelligence Agency should be changed from producing GEOINT to a strategic GEOINT agency. The Army should organize a laboratory of geospatial intelligence field. The mission of producing GEOINT should be transferred to a geospatial intelligence battalion which is newly organized.
