Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for ensuring data availability for a plurality of programmable radios that are waveform agile and that are capable of operating over a plurality of different data links. An enterprise network management tool makes a determination of the threat states for each waveform supported on the programmable radios, and the enterprise network management tool communicates with the programmable radios to advise the programmable radios that a waveform has been compromised. The threat states determined by the enterprise management tool are used to identify which channels are available for dynamic reassignment and which are not. The identity of the available channels and the comprised channels are communicated to a gateway. The gateway establishes a plurality of virtual networks for the programmable radios, and the gateway transitions a programmable radio from one virtual network to another, when service has been denied on the intended delivery path that has been compromised.

Abstract: The present invention provides strategies for detecting intrusions in wireless environments, and the strategies are based on innovative applications of information analysis as well as other information correlating techniques. The key to detecting intrusions in a RF based environment is to understand the normal spectrum of behavior so that deviations can be detected and analyzed. For a wireless communications grid, this process requires empirical knowledge about how the radios work together as components of the information grid, and how this grid network is managed. Once normal behavior has been characterized, anomalous behavior can be identified. Potential intrusions into the wireless network can be analyzed and an attack model can be created. The attack model can be utilized as the basis for initiating appropriate adaptive responses.
