Abstract :
Interoperability is the key to the future of tactical communication systems. With this in mind, several programs have been initiated to develop radios that can communicate with current radio systems such as SINCGARS and EPLRS while including the latest developments for the Tactical Internet. General Dynamics Land Systems-Tallahassee Operations (GDLS-TO) is taking this approach to a higher level. GDLS-TO, while investigating methods of allowing these radios to communicate with each other, is also researching methods for designing radios that will be able to share and exchange software in a dynamic environment
