Abstract

The approach and primary achievements of the Survivable, Adaptive Networks (SURAN) Program are summarized. The purpose of the program is to research and develop network technology capable of supporting communication between computers and their users on the modern battlefield. Accomplishments include a comprehensive set of adaptive, robust, and secure network algorithms, an automated laboratory testbed, and an experimental, low-cost, packet radio network that integrates and demonstrates SURAN technology. Open issues for survivable network research are briefly discussed
