MILCOMM is a dynamic communications planning and training tool.  By integrating the MILSIM constructive simulation with radio propagation models and communication equipment characteristics communication networks can be tested using the terrain and conditions that will be present when the plan is executed.

MILCOMM can also be used as a training tool to train communications personnel on the capabilities of new equipment.  Different deployment configurations can be built and then tested using simulated units and terrain.

Features & Benefits

• Dynamic Network Display
  MILCOMM is capable of dynamically estimating the effects terrain on mobile radio transmissions as well as the effects of interference from external sources, crosstalk, or fading from multiple simultaneous transmissions on the same frequency. The purpose of the dynamic network display is for communications planners to be able to create, display and test the communications plan and to modify the plan iteratively using easy-to-use visual tools.
• Network Planning
  MILCOMM Network Planning Tool allows the communications planners to simply and effectively create the radio, antenna and network infrastructure of the organization they support.  The tool is simple to use, is visually descriptive and requires little training in order to operate it.  Network connections are created by dragging and dropping and the Communications Annexes for orders are automatically created.
• Network Diagram Tool
  MILCOMM allows the communications planners to quickly and effectively create and view network diagrams.  Network diagrams are a visual tool to display the call signs and/or names of control and outstations within the network.  The diagrams created within the Network Diagram Tool can be printed, saved, and copied and pasted into other documents for promulgation.
• Communication Site Planning
  MILCOMM Communications Site Planning tool allows communications planners and operations staff to quickly and effectively plan the layout of a current or future headquarters location.  MILCOMM ensures that the space is managed and that there is appropriate space for all elements, that safety distances are maintained, and that all cabling can “reach” from vehicle to vehicle (and to radio parks).  Once the site plan is agreed to, MILCOMM can interface directly to the C2 system and send the layout plan in a message to others.
• Dynamic Network Rehearsal
  MILCOMM Dynamic Network Rehearsal tool which allows communications planners to rehearse the operation upon the actual terrain forecast for the operation with the actual communications and networking components in their prospective locations with mobile elements in motion.  This allows planners to forecast where communications issues may occur and try to solve the issues iteratively prior to deployment
• Radio Wave Propagation Model
  MILCOMM Radio Wave Propagation Model uses the terrain and database characteristics for radio and antenna sets to estimate path loss from terrain features that could affect the transmission or voice or data within the desired frequency.  The Radio Wave Propagation Model can be expanded to include fading using Rician or Rayleigh fading models.
