4. Beacon Transponder Tech ADS-B: Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast: ADS-B messages include fields for avionics self-reporting of the integrity of ADS-B position information & proximity alerts Boston University Project Beacon : A Network Diagnosis Toolkit used to actively monitor network conditions concurrently operated by a set of collaborating endpoints. Features radius of three areas / zones Cell Broadcast: one-to-many geographically focused messaging service contrasted with Short Message Service - Point to Point (SMS-PP) as a one-to-one and one-to-few service,. Cell Broadcast messaging is supported by UMTS defined by 3GPP. FLUX Beacon: A Forensic Time Machine for Wireless Networks: monitoring infrastructure for forensic data collection, storage and analysis. Records & retrieves traffic signatures and environmental observations as a source of network evidence. FusionNET: Unique Data Replication & Data Synchronization Technology to Support Military Operations in Extreme Networking Environments developed by and for the 18 th Airborne Corps that allows commanders to collect, access &disseminate mission-critical data to and from the field via PeerDirect data replication & synchronization solution by Progress Software Corporation MESA: “The FEDEX of military communications systems” relay and receives data under the DHS SAFECOM umbrella. Facilitates dependable, advanced, efficient, effective and inter-operable equipment, specifications and applications MxRRM Radio Resource Management in multi standard environments: Beacon on one system for all, assuming this one has nearly ubiquitous coverage like GSM. Using a priority scheme to define an order how to scan. If there is an incoming call for a user being reachable by more than one network, which one should be used and why? GM ONSTAR: Originally Project Beacon circa 1994. Telematics, emergency and first responder services for GM’s fleet RDS: Radio Data System: Displays PSN (Program Service Name) as warning/cost effective means of sending data to large areas SABRE: Situational Awareness Beacon Response: battle group situational awareness system for beacon-equipped platforms. SABER produces accurate position & platform ID. &quot;intent to shoot&quot; and &quot;friendly ID&quot; query and response mode data Sea Gull: Server Heartbeat strategy maintains routing & object state using < 1% minimal network resources. Server Heartbeat: “Keep-alive” beacon along each forward link. Increasing period (decreasing frequency) with routing level. Data-Driven Server Heartbeat's “Keep-alive” Multicast increasing / decreasing radius based on intensity, thresholds Sentinel Beacon System : Command Station & mesh network of rugged PCs processing beacon location / track information. A beacon out of range of the command station data is relay by other beacons. TXDP: Transducer Data Exchange Protocol: used during 2005 Superbowl by Michigan National Guard UMTS: Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (wireless broadband) heartbeat to track user’s activities e.g., NG NYC metro ZIGBEE / ZWAVE: Consortiums supporting heartbeat driven mesh network standards Harvard CODE BLUE Harvard Hour Glass

5. The continuous adaptation of capabilities relevant to security - in short transformation - in order to meet the security challenges of the information age is well under way regarding the demands of the military. Based on the support of highly developed information technology to speed up the processes of influencing an adversary, new concepts result in the adaptation of military doctrine, organization, training, material, infrastructure, interagency interaction, leadership, personnel and facilities. Efforts to achieve the adaptation are comprehensively described on numerous Internet websites such as those of the United States Joint Forces Command, the Allied Command Transformation and the German Bundeswehr. Core elements of the improvement of capabilities are the concepts of &quot;Network Centric Warfare&quot; in the United States of America, &quot;Network Enabled Capabilities&quot; in Great Britain or &quot;Vernetzte Operationsführung&quot; in Germany. The key determinants of these network-based concepts are information sharing and collaboration: &quot;Information-sharing and collaboration enhance the quality of information and shared situational awareness. Shared situational awareness enables collaboration and self-synchronization, and enhances sustainability and speed of command.&quot; The widespread use of new Information Communication Technology is intended to enable better exploitation and faster dissemination of intelligence in support of military operations so that political and military decision-making is more authoritative and practical outcomes are more effective. The idea began moving forward from the experimental stage into practical application with &quot;Operation Iraqi Freedom&quot; led by the United States and the United Kingdom against the Saddam Hussein regime early in 2003 . http://www.hands-24.de/SeitenENG/thesenpapier.htm#HANDSThesenpapierIV NETWORK-ENABLED HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE AND DISASTER RELIEF MANAGEMENT IN THE INFORMATION AGE Vernetzte Operationsführung CWID JBFSA
