How do you scale a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) to support thousands of nodes in constant motion? And what happens when the mission expands from a single Army division to the entire Joint Force and multinational coalitions?  In MANET Scalability, Dr. Herbert Rubens, Founder and CEO of Persistent Systems, discusses the engineering challenges of building highly scalable tactical communications networks that can operate under extreme mobility.  He examines how the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division is demonstrating MANET scalability in practice. At Project Convergence Capstone 6, the Army operated approximately 1,600 Wave Relay nodes in a single MANET without dividing the force into separate subnetworks.
But connecting one Army division is only the beginning.  Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) expands the networking challenge across the U.S. military services and warfighting domains. Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) emphasizes the integration of allied and coalition forces, creating an even greater challenge for military networking at scale.
How do we build a communications architecture capable of connecting the Joint Force and international partners across vast geographic distances, while supporting the mobility, resilience, and performance demanded by modern warfare?  Dr. Rubens explores how Persistent Systems is designing Wave Relay MANET and Cloud Relay to help address these challenges and advance its mission to network the battlefield.
