1. Communications and Networking Testing Schedule Tim Krout

2. Jan 5 - 15 2004 COC-X - DARPA –Basic objectives “ring out” COC computer / voice procedures Verify PC configuration (LMR, tracking s/w) Demonstrate ESTOP –Key components 56 Iridium SBD trackers being tracked around Beltway for multiple days – system works as planned 5 ESTOP pairs + masters – demo functionality, demo ability to down load data and store screen shot into computer memory Conference call to simulate / emulate voice traffic – call out waypoints, logging procedures, etc. Real Time Tracking - DARPA –Demo (Mindtel) of basic application functionality 5 PCs in the 5 “tracking” vehicles (1 each) / 1 PC to monitor tracks in real-time (Verizon radio card) –Compare results w/ Iridium SBD (Be aware of Verizon QoS setting up our latency – not an issue in DCG SCORE / CenGen - SOCAL –Outfit 3 trucks (F-250s) Build mounting plates, test mount h/w

3. Jan 16 2004 Mindtel, Omnitech, SRA, CenGen, SCORE (?) –All real-time tracking hands meeting – DC Assess Real-time tracking –Application status - MindTel –Multicast s/w status – Omnitech –Vehicle configuration status – CenGen Ready to test in the field review –Is Omnitech ready to test LOS relays –Is CenGen ready to test satellite phone options

4. Jan 19 – 28 2004 Field testing of Real-Time Tracking Options Omnitech –Will be ready to test using at least 1 balloon and two fixed (uWave) tower location –And three mobile nodes CenGen –Will be ready to test using at least five satellite phones Omnitech will provide multicast s/w tool Mindtel will provide application to graph the location of mobile nodes from a “monitor” point SCORE – 5 trucks online –Most likely scenario has us using /X as the “base” of operations (SAF) –Setup “tower” at SAF for terrestrial relay –Use balloon in “open area” (high pt) for one test –Use balloon in “switch backs (high pt) for another test –Use 1 st (heading toward Primm) uWave tower as terrestrial relay attachment point –Move 3 (up to 5 if h/w supports) CVs between /X to beyond 1 st uWave tower »Verify connectivity / ability to track »Using terrestrial relay (Omnitech) and Satellite phone (CenGen) –Objective 1 – assess readiness to support real-time tracking –Objective 2 – enable a decision as to pursue An all terrestrial real-time tracking solution An all satellite real-time tracking solution A mix (extra $) Verify functional COC PSTN connectivity –Between uWave towers –To external entities

5. Feb 2 – 8 2004 2 Feb – receive ESTOP units from Teams Procure / install h/w for selected option Update to latest application load - MindTel Outfit CVs – 25/28 Test placement of bridges if all terrestrial option selected

6. Feb 9-15 2004 Objectives 9-13 Feb –Support COC training Using as much of real-time tracking as possible Use Iridium SBD at a minimum –Verify terrestrial Voice comms –Test real-time tracking Objective 14/15 Feb –Static test of real-time tracking system 25 CVs, parked (Primm) run for multiple hours Mobile run of course to support / demo real-time tracking capability –Monitor from COC

7. Feb 16 - 29 2004 16 Feb – return ESTOP units to teams –Send Iridium SBD units to teams Objectives –“clean-up” real-time tracking Using 5 spare ESTOP tracking sets –Test QID PSTN connectivity Setup routes for QID –Test tracking connectivity QID – COC Add CV “tracking” laptop to CV if funded –Test functionality

8. March 1 - 14 2004 Support training Support QID Support DCG
