First sorry for the long paste and copy. However it it meaningful IMO. This is about Holocom and what it is involved in business wise. It sounds like something PTSC has been talking about, new applications with cell phones. There is a part in my previous post about " NOW CASTING " which is very interesting. I will try to post the page that shows how Holocom is either capable of or actually doing the work of Conus and Oconus.

Security must be provided throughout the system since each sensor and network node is

subject to compromise. Differing levels of end user trust may accrue to different network

paths, data aggregation from different sensors, cross-correlation of sensor data, and other

system characteristics. Research is needed on decreasing information uncertainty through

configuration and management of sensor and networking resources.

End user trust is dependent on establishing a common operational view and QoS. To

achieve this, research is needed on:

♦ Techniques for capturing minimum mission requirements

♦ Adaptive middleware to map application-level requirements into network-level QoS
