Army computer scientist streamlines network science



ADELPHI, Md. (May 26, 2015) -- Through the efforts of a U.S. Army Research Laboratory, or ARL, computer scientist, the way in which network science experimentation environments are designed, deployed and executed has been streamlined.

Scientists now have the ability to create virtual experimentation environments, each automatically configured and tailored to their specifications, from their web browser.

The system at the forefront of this novel innovation is known as the Dynamically Allocated Virtual Clustering Management System, or DAVC.

DAVC is an experimentation infrastructure, which provides the means to dynamically-create, deploy and manage virtual clusters of heterogeneous nodes within a cloud computing environment based upon resource utilization such as central processing unit load, available random-access memory, or RAM, hard disk space and network utilization.

Army's mid-tier radio advances battlefield network

With vehicles that are equipped with a new high-bandwidth networking radio, Soldiers can move across the battlefield, rapidly exchanging mission-critical voice messages, images and video with their commanders.

Using line-of-sight communications waveforms that are not dependent on satellites, mid-tier networking vehicular radios, or MNVRs, provide ground-level connectivity, which link Soldiers at the company level with battalion and brigade.
