Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a data packet at a routing engine of a node of a network. A route is selected, from a forwarding table of the node, for sending the data packet from the node to a destination of the data packet. The forwarding table includes route characteristics, including route costs, related to two or more routes from the node to the destination. The selected route is analyzed, by a hardware computing device, to determine whether the selected route is suitable to convey the data packet based on real-time traffic information. The data packet is returned to the routing engine if the selected route is determined unsuitable to convey the data packet. An alternate route is selected, from the forwarding table, for the data packet in place of the previous selected route if the previous selected route is unsuitable to convey the data packet.

Abstract: A data broker-reasoner (DBR) system for automating mission planning and execution includes a context originating entity, a reasoner/decision entity, and a plurality of enforcement entities. The context originating entity extracts mission policy information from a variety of source materials, including checklists, manuals, and other documentation. The reasoner/decision entity interprets the mission policy in the context of situational awareness (SA) events to determine which policies should be enforced. Each of the enforcement entities is configured to enforce various policies within the context of a given mission lifecycle phase by providing commands, data, and requests to a plurality of user applications and/or other mission systems. The DBR can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a composite Network of Networks is created out of a set otherwise separate constituent networks by a system that includes an operations station and one or more gateways. The operations station is configured to transmit a set of policies for processing data packets travelling through a composite network, where the composite network includes two or more independent constituent networks. The gateways are each communicatively connected between two or more attached constituent networks. A first gateway is configured to receive a data packet from a first constituent network attached to the first gateway; determine one or more real-time network situational awareness characteristics; process the data packet by applying the policies to the data packet based at least in part on the network situational awareness characteristics; and transmit the data packet to a second network attached to the first gateway and distinct from the first constituent network.
