Abstract

The paper describes concepts and techniques that will be applied to the development of an adaptive network planner (ANP). The ANP will be used to support voice, data and video subscribers of the localized access area (LAA) network of the army´s future battlefield information system (BIS) 2015 architectural concept. LAA includes LAN technologies, PCS technologies, tactical gateways and radio access points. The paper first presents a description of the technical and operational environment that the ANP will function in, and then continues with detailed technical concepts and techniques that might be used in a prototype implementation. The ANP is currently in the very beginning of the exploratory development stage (6.2) of the military development cycle, and will be developed in an evolutionary manner and both technology and requirements evolve
