Abstract

By connecting multiple sensors, data analysis services and applications, military capabilities can be increased significantly. Consequently, wireless sensor networking has become a fundamental aspect of modern military sensor technology and military information systems. The diverse set of military use cases for wireless sensor networks is presented in this chapter in the context of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, of environmental monitoring and of battlefield situational awareness.
On this basis, the characteristics of military wireless sensor networks are outlined towards operation without a pre-deployed infrastructure, for a rapid deployment of the capability, and for operation in a hostile environment. The extent to which the military requirements on wireless sensor networks go beyond commercial/civil requirements is explained. In the areas of security and sensor fusion, many well-known mechanisms deployed for the internet infrastructure are not applicable and alternative solutions are furthermore presented.
