TCP/IP is the leading protocol used by networked applications the Navy requires to perform its mission. However, TCP/IP was designed for use in reliable, but possibly congested, wired networks, and thus does not support stealthy communication overintermittent and degraded wireless links as required… More

"Refine the characteristics of, and integrate a softwareimplementation of, an optimal protocol suite for reliable IP WANtransport over GEO satellites. The prototype Application TrafficController (ATC), integrating a caching controller, compressioncontroller, and prioritization and queuing… More

The advent of Automatic Link Establishment has significantly increased the utility and ease of use of high frequency radio communications. However, the cost to replace all legacy HF communications equipment with ALE capable radios is prohibitively high.To provide a low-cost solution to add ALE… More

The proposed effort will develop a Ultra Wideband Network Datalink. Properly designed Data Link layers of protocol stacks take into account both the channel characteristics provided by the physical layer (in this case an, Ultra Wideband transciever) andthe higher layers and applications above the… More

We propose a novel architecture for large-scale, low power sensor networks, referred to as Sensor Networks with Mobile Agents (SENMA) utilizing an Ultra Wide Band physical (PHY) layer. SENMA is designed to exploit node redundancies by introducing mobile agents that communicate opportunistically with… More

CTI proposes to develop a Class B Automatic Identification System device satisfying two major objectives: hardware cost reduction, so large numbers of smaller boats can be economically equipped; and software enhancement, to convert raw AIS data into decision-quality information, warnings and… More

We propose to advance the state of the art in the improvement of communications reliability in wireless ad-hoc sensor networks. The purpose of this proposal is to investigate and define a technology that is able to provide (1) automated monitoring and detection of multiple communication link status,… More

ABSTRACT: The CTI/SU team proposes the Cyber Cross-Layer Optimization Publish-Subscribe (CYCLOPS) framework for design, prototyping and assessment of innovative methods for creating cognitive network architectures and protocols to achieve autonomous network resiliency in contested Radio Frequency… More

Given the following four facts: the steadily increasing computational power of mobile handheld devices the steadily increasing number of mobile handheld devices in the modern networked battlespace the steadily increasing need for and supply of sensor data and Situational Awareness (SA)… More

ABSTRACT: Warfighters need to be able to trust the computer systems on which their lives depend, which includes every computer in or attached to the network. We can launch a trustworthy computer by booting from a Trusted Computing Base consisting of a Microvisor with capabilities security plus a… More
