BAE Systems has received a $24 million contract from the U.S.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop
software that autonomously configures tactical networks for
mission-critical communications as part of the Mission-Integrated
Network Control (MINC) program.

Reliable data and communications networks are critical in modern
warfare. Currently, no capability exists to dynamically control
interconnected networks and ensure that warfighters can communicate
across domains in contested environments.
The MINC program seeks to build and demonstrate an integrated,
advanced capability that creates a secure communications network to
support multi-domain operations. Under the terms of the contract,
BAE Systems’ FAST Labs™ research and development organization will
develop the algorithms and software to anticipate, configure, and
control available resources to optimize the flow of
information.
“In today’s highly congested and contested environments, secure
and adaptable multi-domain communications have never been more
important,” said Brian Decleene, chief scientist at BAE Systems’
FAST Labs. “Recent research advances in networking, autonomy, and
mission planning offers a unique opportunity for real-time control
of the tactical network based on the mission and evolving operating
environment. As a result of this program, we’ll enable the operator
to deliver the right information to the right user at the right
time across multiple domains and improve mission outcome.”
BAE Systems’ work on this program leverages its robust
networking, communications, and autonomy portfolios, including work
on multi-domain programs such as Dynamic Network Adaptation for
Mission Optimization, Resilient Synchronized Planning and
Assessment for the Contested Environment, and Adapting Cross-Domain
Kill-Webs.
