Summary	The main objective for this project is to develop a novel predictive aerial MANET node management model. The model would allow monitoring and organizing of MANET aerial nodes on-the-move, to provide required connectivity and performance. The expected model would work with USMC aircraft simulators to train pilots how to 1) operate as MANET nodes in the air, 2) support each other as relays or data processing nodes, 3) augment ground unit connectivity and reach-back, and 4) reposition themselves in their airspace to respond to disruptions caused by an attack or mobility issue.
