In the future, deployable, teleoperated surgical robots can save the lives of critically injured
patients in battlefield environments. These robotic systems will need to have autonomous …

Teleoperated surgical robots can provide immediate medical assistance in austere and
hostile environments. However, such scenarios are time-sensitive and require high …

Airborne sensor platforms are becoming increasingly significant for both civilian and military
operations; yet, at present, their sensors are typically idle for much of their flight time, eg …

The effectiveness of ground-based, wireless tactical data networks is often constrained by
limitations such as communication range and line-of-sight. SATCOM is not always available …

Airborne sensors are often idle for much of their flight, eg, while the platform carrying them is
in transit to and from the locations of sensor tasks. The sensing needs of many other …

In austere environments, teleoperated surgical robots could save the lives of critically injured
patients if they can perform complex surgical maneuvers under limited communication …

A key property in tactical network environments is that the wireless network itself is typically
the major limiting factor in how much information can be shared between users. In such …

Mobile devices performing mission-critical functions at the tactical edge, such as those
employed by first responders, military personnel, and law enforcement, operate in …

Software systems typically evolve independently from one another. Integration opportunities
and benefits only become apparent when new users or organizations adopt the system into …

The enterprise and tactical domains have distinct properties and requirements, and have
thus evolved independently in incompatible ways. Today the network infrastructure has …
