BACKGROUND
Airborne Networking began as a Tech Center idea in support of the NASA SATS Project proposed in July 1999. (But not limited to SATS aircraft.)
In December 2004, the JPDO published the NGATS Plan, validating this premise, and institutionalizing a plan for network enabled operations for the NAS (i.e. NGATS).
The US Air Force has been engaged in airborne networking research for several years based upon NASA SATS, NGATS support from ATO-P-1 (Keegan), and Congressional earmarking

CAPABILITIES
This system will enable the Air Force to provide a transportable network, flexible enough to communicate with any air, space, or ground asset in the area.
Operationally, The AN is designed to be self-forming, self-organizing, and self-generating, with nodes joining and leaving the network as they enter and exit a specific region.
4
INTENDED USE
The AN was designed as the cornerstone for the new military doctrine known as Network Centric Warfare.
All-in-all the AN was designed to reduce the time necessary to identify a target, make clear and educated decisions to pull or not to pull the trigger, and assess battle.
5
TOPOLOGIES
Three main types of topologies Space, Air, Ground Tether Flat Ad Hoc Tiered Ad Hoc
6
ARCHITECTURE
Network Management-The network management system monitors the health of the network by passively testing the network for faults and latency.
Routing/Switching-Routers and switches will use metrics to determine the best paths to take when routing data. The routing protocol utilized for the AN will be an Adaptive Quality of Service routing protocol.

Gateways/Proxies-Gateways and proxies are essential in the operation of this network because so many different technologies are used to communicate in each domain.
PLATFORM CATEGORIES
Fighter Platforms-An airborne fighter platform flight profile includes periods of stable flight patterns and dynamic maneuvers at high speeds.
C4ISR Platforms-A C4ISR platform flight profile includes periods of en route flying and repeated, stable flight patterns.
Airborne Communications Relay Platforms-The mission of an airborne communications relay platform is to be employed as part of and/or support to C4ISR constellation and/or strike package(s) or CAP.
