`. To provide connectivity superior to that provided by current systems:
`. "Talk" directly with elements that are not in your local network
`>) Anywhere to anywhere, versus line-of-sight, orjust in your local command net
`I Share information effectively and quickly across unit and organizational
`boundaries
`>) Within hierarchies
`>) Across common functions
`. Better service
`>) Quality of service
`>) Speed of service
`>) Message completion rate

`>) Via dynamic selection of paths, better protocols, etc.
`. Better use of bandwidth

`. Task re-organization I battle losses I etc.
`. To adopt commercial protocol standards, except where

`. Enable easy insertion of layered applications, COTS and

`. Enable use of COTS technologies (e.g., routing software)
`. Facilitate interconnection with other battlefield systems
`» Interoperability with SATCOM, commercial communications systems,

`
`. The US. Army's experimentation process has allowed technical
`experts to work with operational experts
`. Resulted ¡n quick convergence on the correct capabilities
`. Defined the minimum essential capabilities of any "Tactical InterNet"
`. The battlefield needs many capabilities that are not (at this time)
`offered in the commercial marketplace
`. Obvious things: anti-jam, anti-DF, encryption
`Less-obvious things: speed-of-service, reliable multicast, dynamic
`behaviour
`. But want to remain compatible with COTS protocols and COTS
`appl ¡cations
`Need to "blend" in just the right manner
`. The U.S. Army has created the world's most flexible internet
`Far ahead of COTS market in many key areas
`Structured to take advantage of COTS implementations as they catch up
`Working to bring our technologies to the COTS market, to accelerate the
`process
