Abstract
Communication is a fundamental enabler in modern warfare. The chain of command
and control (C2) from political to strategic, down to tactical level depends
on seamless transfer of information, for which a secured communication
backbone is absolutely fundamental. STRATCOM forms that fundamental backbone,
and interconnects all the platforms in a battle environment facilitating C2
and decision making for the superior commanders. On the other hand, tactical
comm. interconnects all war fighters in a theatre environment where a force of
division size or below usually operates. It eventually forms a loop to the
STRATCOM backbone enabling seamless connectivity between theatres of
operations.
