  Abstract

Due to the rapid development of drone-related technologies, technical research is underway to establish a multi-layer airborne network that utilizes drones. The military is actively discussing how to use drones. Especially, the Army is demanding for the development of a ground-based tactical information communication system into a multi-layer integrated network structure in order to prepare for future changes in the battlefield environment. However, research on operation of combat radio network using airborne drones, operation of backbone network using stratosphere airships, or analysis of the effectiveness of those systems are insufficient to overcome communication constraints on the ground and ensure real-time command-control and situational awareness. This paper analyzes the operational environment of the combat wireless network and ground backbone network, which are sub-systems of the tactical information communication network(TICN) on the ground, and introduces how to operate the airborne backbone network using small drones and stratosphere airships to solve their problems. In addition, the results of the analysis using Riverbed Modeler are presented for increasing packet transmission success rate and decreasing transmission delay when not operating an aviation tactical network and when operating an aviation tactical network, respectively.
