Building a communication system for harsh and contested environments requires diligent planning and consideration of factors such as reliability, security, and adaptability. To achieve mission success, it is essential to ensure that defense systems have optimal conditions to function reliably across disconnected, intermittent, and limited (DIL) environments. A critical aspect of this effort is the establishment of efficient communication channels between frontline personnel and their commanding officers.
This white paper presents a strategic framework for addressing obstacles to efficient communications and how best to maintain seamless connectivity through the utilization of open standards-based, field-proven Curtiss-Wright hardware and software.
