| A major challenge in the DoD's next-generation network-centric information systems concerns on-demand provisioning of computation and network infrastructures at tactical network edges (e.g., deploying wireless airborne or hybrid air/ground networks). To support this vision, we present DWARF, a general distributed application execution framework for wireless ad-hoc networks which dynamically allocates computation resources and manages failures. DWARF nodes each run a separate task simultaneously, thereby achieving execution speed-up from parallel processing. ... |

| This effort concerns a new aerial ad-hoc networking paradigm, in which low-altitude unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used to assist wireless communication among a set of stationary or mobile ground stations. This work focuses on the use of cost-effective Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) equipment. New networking protocols have been developed based on antenna engineering and interference-resilient medium access control (MAC) schemes. In addition, the project has gathered a substantial amount of ... |

| This project has led to a number of findings and conclusions. The main results concern the task of using one or more Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to relay messages or videos between two distant ground nodes. A protocol, called load-carry-and-deliver (LCAD), has been developed and implemented, where a UAV load from a source ground node, carries the data while flying to the destination, and finally delivers the data to a ... |
