The OPNET Modeler® Wireless Suite for Defense builds
on the capabilities of the OPNET Modeler® Wireless Suite to support
the unique R&D requirements of the defense community. Government
agencies and contractors require detailed network modeling, and simulation
that can keep pace with the growing size of tactical networks. The Modeler
Wireless Suite for Defense couples high-fidelity protocol and equipment
models with a scalable simulation environment capable of simulating
wired/wireless military networks of realistic scale in real-time.
The suite is used by the world's largest Defense organizations and contractors
to accelerate the R&D of network protocols, devices, and architectures
crucial to Network-Centric Operations and Warfare implementations. Examples include MANET protocol development,
JTRS/Bowman radio design, and WIN-T/FCS architecture studies. Defense
network planners and architects can analyze end-to-end behavior, tune
network performance, and develop custom protocols to optimally support
the warfighter. Training and exercise personnel can leverage the suite
to incorporate communications effects into wargames.

Visualize network behavior by overlaying communications effects onto a dynamic 3D scenario.
