Description
The Air Force Research Laboratory is soliciting white papers for research, development, integration, test, and evaluation of technologies for Airborne Network Connectivity and Dissemination. The goal is to move from the current state of aerial layer networking to a more on-demand, self-forming, and self-healing network. Research areas include network monitoring and management, robust airborne networking, and demonstrable aerial layer network technologies.
* Key research areas: Airborne Network Management and Monitoring, Robust Airborne Networking, Demonstrable aerial layer network technologies
* Proposed solutions should enable the Air Force to realize technologies that transform current aerial layer networking
* White papers should describe proposed approaches and solutions, and may include hardware brass-boards and software systems development, model-based design and simulation, and demonstration of hardware brass-boards and antenna in-the-loop validation techniques
