JCSE participated in Pacific Endeavor, an annual, multination exercise led by USINDOPACOM. Throughout the exercise, numerous military communication units established High Frequency (HF) radio sites that served as a practical opportunity to develop and refine the lost art of HF communications.
JCSE’s primary task was to employ and maintain a mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) using small form-factor radios with mesh network capabilities. The JCSE team established a MANET link between the base station and the Coordination Center. This extension demonstrated the capability of extending HF communications over a local mesh network, thus adding flexibility for command and control (C2) at multiple fixed locations or while on the move.
HF is a proven and long standing method of communication, providing redundancy and interoperability not only across traditional missions but also in humanitarian and domestic support functions (U.S. Army Photos by SGT Jose Vargas).
