`
`·1· ·BY MR. RUBINO:
`
`·2· · · · Q.· And you used the word "dynamic" throughout
`
`·3· ·your report; right?
`
`·4· · · · A.· I did, correct.
`
`·5· · · · Q.· So the server could change frequently;
`
`·6· ·right?
`
`·7· · · · A.· Let me try and say it a little more
`
`·8· ·precisely.· The FBCB2 units that are serving the
`
`·9· ·role of -- acting in the role of a server will
`
`10· ·change over time.
`
`11· · · · Q.· And so it's possible that an FBCB2 unit
`
`12· ·could send out a message saying they want another
`
`13· ·map like a picture behind a hill to a server; right?
`
`14· · · · A.· (Witness nods head.)
`
`15· · · · Q.· And then when they ultimately get the
`
`16· ·picture, the picture doesn't necessarily have to
`
`17· ·come through that same server; right?
`
`18· · · · · · MS. BI:· Objection to form.
`
`19· · · · · · THE WITNESS:· The system will accommodate
`
`20· ·the battlefield dynamic.· So if it's this
`
`21· ·gentleman's unit that made the original request and
`
`22· ·it's this lady's unit that is acting as the server
`
`23· ·at the time of the request, it goes off, the picture
`
`24· ·gets taken, but it might be because of the dynamics
`
`25· ·of the battlefield that this lady unit is no longer

`
`·1· ·the server, it's this other lady's unit is acting as
`
`·2· ·the unit for this gentleman, but it would find its
`
`·3· ·way back.
`
`·4· ·BY MR. RUBINO:
`
`·5· · · · Q.· But it doesn't have to be the same server
`
`·6· ·that it actually passes through; right?
`
`·7· · · · A.· It doesn't have to be the same server.
`
`·8· · · · Q.· So with regard to this picture you've shown
`
`·9· ·after paragraph 103 in your report --
`
`10· · · · A.· Uh-huh, I see it, at the top of page 50.
`
`11· · · · Q.· -- do you have any way to know one way or
`
`12· ·the other whether that request for the image and the
`
`13· ·image itself being transmitted back passed through
`
`14· ·that same server, passed through a single server?
`
`15· · · · · · MS. BI:· Objection to form.
`
`16· · · · · · THE WITNESS:· No, the FBCB2 user probably
`
`17· ·would not have any way of knowing that.
`
`18· ·BY MR. RUBINO:
`
`19· · · · Q.· And do you know that?· Do you have any
`
`20· ·idea?
`
`21· · · · A.· Me technically?· Yes, I mean, there's
`
`22· ·technical information that would -- that would be
`
`23· ·available to an expert that would tell us the state
`
`24· ·of the system at any time and at every time in the
`
`25· ·past, and we would know which FBCB2 -- we would know

`
`·1· · · · · · THE WITNESS:· I would say it differently.
`
`·2· ·The purp -- the purpose of this capability we're
`
`·3· ·discussing was to allow for some reasonable
`
`·4· ·continuity of the server function in the crazy and
`
`·5· ·difficult environment of an actual combat
`
`·6· ·battlefield.
`
`·7· ·BY MR. RUBINO:
`
`·8· · · · Q.· Which would mean that you'd want multiple
`
`·9· ·devices to be able to act in the role of a server;
`
`10· ·right?
`
`11· · · · A.· That is -- that was the design decision we
`
`12· ·came to.· That is, having the opportunity of -- of
`
`13· ·additional units being elected to replace a server
`
`14· ·that had gone away for whatever reason.· That was
`
`15· ·the way that we elected to get continuity on the
`
`16· ·battlefield.· It was a design decision.
`
`17· · · · Q.· And again, as part of that election and
`
`18· ·discovery process, IP addresses are exchanged;
`
`19· ·correct?
`
`20· · · · · · MS. BI:· Objection to form.
`
`21· · · · · · THE WITNESS:· The statement is way too
`
`22· ·broad and misleading.· The information about the --
`
`23· · · · · · MR. RUBINO:· If it's misleading, then I'll
`
`24· ·withdraw the question.
`
`25· · · · · · THE WITNESS:· Okay.
