Abstract

The Extended Littoral Battlespace (ELB) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide US Marines in the field with multimedia connectivity to shore-based and afloat command and control centers. Computer network voice communication services are being evaluated and demonstrated as part of the ELB project. A gateway is needed for network voice users to communicate with users on other tactical voice and military telephone systems. We describe a scalable network voice gateway based on commercial off-the-shelf technology to be demonstrated as part of the ELB ACTD. Concepts for future capabilities and design issues are also discussed
