Welcome

Welcome to the Home Page of the IEEE Communications Society's Technical Committee on Tactical Communications. This Web site is intended to be a resource for anyone who has an interest in aspects of tactical communications covered by our mission statement below.

Mission

Defense and disaster recovery organizations rely on increasingly sophisticated communications systems and networks to accomplish their goals in an environment where effective leveraging of information technology is vital. A major sector of defense and disaster recovery applications involves tactical communications systems that call for rapid deployment and reconfigurable capabilities. It is the mission of this Technical Committee to provide an open and unclassified forum in which professionals in relevant industries, government agencies and academic institutions can exchange knowledge and cooperate to advance the state of the art in defense-related tactical communications. An important goal of the Technical Committee is to promote the peaceful use of tactical communication technologies in peacekeeping activities and natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods. Within the domain of defense communications, the Technical Committee will cover a wide range of topics including military communications technologies, architectures, systems, applications and terminals. Since future defense communications will leverage off technological advances in the commercial communications sector and since industrial applications can benefit from defense solutions, this Technical Committee will interact strongly with other technical committees in the Communications Society and with relevant outside professional organizations. The Technical Committee will sponsor conferences, publications, workshops, technical sessions at Society meetings and other methods for information exchange among its participants. The Technical Committee may also explore information exchange and educational opportunities with interested organizations such as G7 and NATO educational bodies to address the professional interests of a significant group of Communications Society members.
