WSN solutions for communication challenges in military live simulation environments
Constantin Grumăzescu, Valentin-Alexandru Vladuta, Georgiana Subasu · 2016
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) development has always been driven by the complexity and diversity of modern military applications. From simple intrusion detection to complex border surveillance and monitoring integrated systems, target location and tracking, WSNs have been included in all types of military scenarios. Military live simulation systems are part of complex integrated tactical training environments used by many military powers, including North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) joint armed forces, and, in the past few years, they have begun to show their technical limitations. In this paper we have analyzed a series of communication challenges and proposed and motivated several implementation alternatives for a military live simulation training system that we have been observing on-site, during a joint training exercise.
