“…We consider communication in an airborne tactical network (ATN) [9] where there are hostile aircraft. Previous studies on ATNs have, however, not considered the presence of hostile aircraft and the implications and restrictions that the presence of hostile aircraft have on routing [10][11][12].…”

Contemporary airborne radio networks are usually implemented using omnidirectional antennas. Unfortunately, such networks suffer from disadvantages such as easy detection by hostile aircraft and potential information leakage. In this paper, we present a novel mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocol based on directional antennas and situation awareness data that utilizes adaptive multihop routing to avoid sending information in directions where hostile nodes are present. Our protocol is implemented in the OMNEST simulator and evaluated using two realistic flight scenarios involving 8 and 24 aircraft, respectively. The results show that our protocol has significantly fewer leaked packets than comparative protocols, but at a slightly higher cost in terms of longer packet lifetime.

“…In order to achieve tactical intent coordination in ATNs, the command and control (C2) platform in the backbone network ought to multicast mission assignment messages to a certain group of tactical aircrafts in edge networks [6,7]. Due to the unstable wireless channel state during warfare, temporal out-of-sequence packets often occur [8] and frequent packet loss may be caused [9].…”

Traditional multicast routing strategies can hardly meet the demanding requirements of multicasting mission assignment messages in airborne tactical networks. This letter proposes an intent‐driven routing strategy, termed as IDR, to realize reliable and efficient multicast. IDR exploits bit index explicit replication technique to encode not only the destination information but also the retransmission information into packet headers. If part of the multicast members failed to receive the packet, IDR can perceive the error and retransmit the packet to the precise set of nodes. Compared to the state‐of‐the‐art reliable multicast routing methods, IDR can enhance multicast retransmission success rate by about 10% or more and reduce retransmission overhead by around 50%.
