1 Goals Metrics Benefits MilestonesTechnology Challenges A.1 Mobile power – “always on” Identify, implement and test the best ways to use existing technology to maximize longevity of outdoors on-the-move networks Implement power aware routing algorithms to maximize longevity Comprehensive survey of state of the art in maximizing battery- powered network longevity – including power resources, hardware, software/hardware integration, routing and monitoring. Comprehensive survey of relevant technology in advanced state of development –assessment of expected performance and development risks; cost and cost effectiveness; development gaps and integration challenges. Demonstration of hardware/software optimization for maximal network longevity, using ACIN-developed SWAT (Secure Ad- hoc Wireless Agent Test-bed) for testing and evaluation. Development of on-the-move battery charging plans – including equipment, logistics, scheduling and resource allocation. Development of batteries aware of their charge profile and their real-time capacity Improvement of existing battery and storage techniques Optimization of power consumption by improved design of algorithms and auxiliary operations Development of realistic field tested power aware routing algorithms The longevity of battery supplied wireless networks in outdoors operation Cost and weight of battery, electronics and equipment solutions Increased longevity of battery powered networks in the field Decreased cost and weight of power-related handheld components HP iPaq 3870 and its battery discharge profile (voltage vs. time)

2 Goals Metrics Benefits MilestonesTechnology Challenges A.2 Hybrid Architectures for Solider-Level Networks Enable communications over multiple available networks for maximum adaptivity Interoperability of 802.11 ad hoc, infrastructure and CDMA-based networks Design of an urban network testbed Identification and sample testing of hardware Acquisition of hardware Development of hybrid network routing protocol Integration Test and demonstration Network routing and protocol development Hardware integration Access to multiple 802.11 networks and multiple 802.11 modes (ad hoc and infrastructure) on a single NIC Interfaces to other network infrastructures SARNOFF Breadcrumbs Rajant Breadcrumbs WIN-T CDA Bandwidth and connectivity quality in urban setting Power consumption requirements Improved urban communications Leveraging of COTS technology

3 Goals Metrics Benefits MilestonesTechnology Challenges A.3 Reliable VoIP for Small Unit-Scale Operations High-reliability, secure, multi-cast VoIP for networks of 12-14 nodes Support cryptographically separated voice communications Routing algorithms package Multicast security modules Evaluation tools Test and evaluation scenarios Making multicast routing work reliably for small networks Integrating multicast routing with group security Integration with mobile C4 devices Leveraging COTS, including 802.11 Latency, bandwidth, packet loss Cognitive utility Reduced weight for warfighter (fewer radios needed) Interoperability with C4 systems Lockheed Martin ATL indicated interest in participating in this project, including investment of LMCO-ATL IRAD funds

4 Goals Metrics Benefits MilestonesTechnology Challenges A.4 SWAT Transition to SPEYES Handheld A force multiplying system for SASO Lower echelon situation awareness tools and integration with sensors and UAVs Demonstration and testing with 10 th Mountain Division @ Ft. Drum, NY in October 2005 Demonstration and testing with 1MEF at 29 Palms, CA in October 2005 Evaluation, feedback and updates (three spirals) through March 2006 Deploy in the field in Summer 2006 Networking for lightweight mobile devices Disruption tolerance, reliability, power- awareness System interoperability Integration of mobile devices with UAVs, video sensors, leave-behind building sensors Time on task, casualties Cognitive feedback from users Improved performance in tasks (more buildings cleared, less time, etc) Improved warfighter safety and security Cordon and Search Patrols Fixed Site Security

5 Goals Metrics Benefits MilestonesTechnology Challenges A.5 Homeland Security Dual Use: SWAT Transition with DHS and CDRC-Ottawa Realize dual-use potential for ACIN Technologies Demonstrate utility of survivable and secure communications in first responder settings Demonstration with Drexel University Public Safety and the University City District Demonstration with Atlantic County NJ Department of Emergency Management Demonstration with SEPTA, City of Philadelphia and Amtrak police Pursuit of joint funding opportunities with CDRC- Ottawa combining US DHS and Canadian PSEPC Cognitive feedback from users from the first responder community Input from subject matter experts Leverage taxpayer investment in ACIN technologies High impact demonstrations with public safety organizations.
