The U.S. army's role in advancing mobile mesh networks: historical evolution, technological transformation, and practical applications

Abstract

Mobile mesh networks have emerged as a transformative innovation, revolutionizing communication in environments characterized by limited infrastructure. The U.S. Army has played a pivotal role in advancing this technology, leveraging it for tactical operations while fostering its adoption in civilian contexts. This study delves into the historical trajectory, technological evolution, military and civilian utilizations, and security vulnerabilities associated with mobile mesh networks.
