Overview

Cyber infrastructure systems and technologies of interest to the military. Copper and fiber media networks, telecommunication networks and signaling, the Internet, enterprise networks, network-centric sensing, collection, monitoring, dissemination, and distribution of critical data. Terrestrial wireless networks: cellular networks, local area and long haul data networks (GSM, WiFi, WiMAX, LTE, Link 16 and Link 22). Space based networks: satellite communication networks, wide area large sensor networks. Heterogeneous networks: end-la-end communication, sensing, collection, and distribution across fiber, terrestrial wireless, and satellite networks, protocols, design and performance analysis. Control and overlay networks such as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems and the National power grid.
