Comments on LANdroid WiFi Robots
DARPA is at it again, this time looking to establish networks on the fly. (Read
the complete story)
| "Will this be tracked by the other radio networks which is more efficient than the present one" (Santo 6/20/2007 8:40:26 PM) |
| "The system for the Monkeys won't work for DARPA's LANdroid vision. The Monkeys' network only needs to transmit low sized and periodic packets. The DARPA vision, by contrast, is for a high capacity, high throughput network with very high to continuous connectivity. That will require a much higher bandwidth and throughput than the highly intermittant Monkey network. The sophistication is higher (to maintain continous network connectivity) and the power requirements are much higher." (Michael LeBauer 7/2/2007 3:46:21 PM) |
| "In Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge, a USMC quick reaction squad (deployed by sub-orbital rockets) employs a "combat network" of scatterable LAN nodes. Not only do these nodes create a self-establishing network, they forcibly take control of exisiting wireless devices. The squad also deploys with a small army's worth of networked, loitering munitions ranging from non-lethal systems to tactical-nukes, giving the commander the ability to resolve even the worst bio/nuke terror threat with the minimum neccesary force within minutes." (Ryan 9/5/2007 7:24:21 AM) |
