Cellular communication systems provide an incredible capability to execute successful mission operations and represent an enormous savings to the Government in the development of advanced waveforms. The always connected and real-time dissemination of information improves a soldier’s situational awareness, threat identification and mission execution. Leveraging commercial investments in research and development to benefit the warfighter is a sound proposition. Industry has invested billions in creating robust, reliable fixed networks. Oceus builds solutions that are tactically relevant in a Degraded, Intermittent, and Latent (DIL) environment. A tactical environment is distinct from a traditional fixed network where Wide Area Networks (WAN) are not guaranteed and equipment is on the-move, including all the cellular infrastructure and services. And equally as important, Oceus can create a secure, mobile, tactical broadband network without modifying COTS technologies to the point that future commercial investments cannot be leveraged.
This paper discusses the different types of systems, the scalability of networks, deployment scenarios, testing, and management of the solution.
