Abstract

The need has been established by the US Army to provide the future soldier with computing and communications capabilities. This will entail providing the individual soldier with a pocket-size computer as well as a communications device for the transmission of both voice and data. These programs are known as Soldier´s Computer and Soldier´s Radio. The authors address the Soldier´s Radio and many of the unique constraints, issues, factors, and opportunities that will drive the design of this system. Particular attention is given to the network architecture, information security, and operational frequency bands
