Abstract :
A simulation of the forward area battlefield (FAB) Internet communication system using SINCGARS SIP (system improvement program) and ITT´s battlefield enhanced MIL-STD-188-220 protocol has been performed. The preliminary results are promising in meeting the future requirements of a digitized battlefield. It shows that by using a horizontal net architecture, adjacent platoons belonging to different companies can share an up-to-date situation awareness database and still have the capacity to handle normal mixed voice and data communications
