Towards a transport network for FMN based on the PCN concept

FMN and other programs for making joint information networks are important, valuable efforts for future military missions. The architectural views of FMN have so far mostly been concentrated around “higher level” views, like operational benefits and sharing of information services. In this paper, we briefly describe how the underlying communications infrastructure of an FMN network can be implemented using the PCN concept. It is our view that FMN documents should include a suitable discussion of the underlying communications layer infrastructure.
