Abstract :
The 24-hour network performance management system (24NPMS) is a conceptual system proposed by the Network Management Automation/Integration Working Group (NMA/IWG) convened by the Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate (S&TCD). 24NPMS will incorporate new traffic/propagation-prediction tools with existing tactical network management concepts and planned upgrades to provide the communications systems manager unprecedented real-time insight into anticipated performance of the networks, and replan accordingly. The effects of rain and multipath fading on the planning and management of tactical communications networks are incorporated
