Summary	The proposed research was invited by the sponsor to support an ongoing study that examines the performance of a wireless combat communication system known as the Ground Soldier System (GSS). We propose to study the performance of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs)-a1so called wireless mesh networks (WMNs)-for ground soldier communication. This research will directly support the GSS analysis of alternatives (AoA). Specifically, our goal is to understand how the basis of issue (BOI) for MANET equipment affects the ability of the network to support mission critical communication.
