A context‐aware and intelligent framework for the secure mission critical systems

Abstract

Recent technological advancements in pervasive systems have shown the potential to address challenges in the military domain. Research developments in military-based mission-critical systems have refined a lot as in autopilot, sensing true target behavior, battle damage conditions, acquiring and manipulating command control information. However, the application of pervasive systems in the military domain is still evolving. In this paper, an intelligent framework has been proposed for mission-critical systems to incorporate advanced heterogeneous communication protocols; service-oriented layered structure and context-aware information manipulation. The proposed framework addresses the limitation of "time-space" constraints in Mission-critical systems that have been improved significantly. This improvement is courtesy to enhancing situationaware tactical capabilities such as localization, decision significance, strategic span, strategic intentions, resource coordination and profiling concerning the situation. A comprehensive use case model has been presented for a typical battlefield scenario followed by a comparison of the proposed framework with existing techniques. It is evident from experiments and analyses that the proposed framework provides more effective and seamless interaction with contextual resources to improve tactical capabilities.

“…50 Here, S is said to be log-normally distributed with mean displacement 𝜇 as a drift and a SD 𝜎 as a volatility iff there exists a function f (⋅) such that f (S t ) = log (S t ) is normally distributed. Therefore, d (f (S t )) is derived in Equation ( 8) with the help of Equation (6).…”

“…These rivalry actions, climatic or geographical hostility, and any other battlefield unfavorable inputs may cause a sudden terrible failure of IoBT during an operation. Sometimes, a network failure may be purposeful rather than accidental to save mission‐critical information 6 . This disconnection among the sink nodes of the network and the base station is known as the dark phase, as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…Sometimes, a network failure may be purposeful rather than accidental to save mission-critical information. 6 This disconnection among the sink nodes of the network and the base station is known as the dark phase, as shown in Figure 1. The dark phase obstructs the base station to receive the observations from the sensor nodes and their localization-essentials.…”
