Author Description

Are commercially available integrated wireless network and sensor technologies deployable to provide secured immediate/real-time service of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) communications to meet the warfighter's persistent ISR needs at the tactical level? This tactical level concept employs the idea that every sensor in the network is a node with wireless links back to a command and control (C2) entity for near real-time situational awareness. A node in the network is defined as a sensor that contains intelligence information such as, but not limited to, a motion detector, a camera that a soldier may possess, or a chemical agent sensor linked in the network via commercial wireless technology.
