Blending both the airborne and ground networks into a single, seamless joint communications network enables ground forces access to and increasingly assess through the airborne network, leveraging air support as well as C2ISR (Command, Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) assets. The developments in joint battlespace waveforms, software defined radios (SDRs) and joined-up intelligent networks are discussed.
