Clean Earth Technologies (CET) is a premier
small business science and technology firm
based in St. Louis, Missouri, that conducts
state of the art R&D and test & evaluation
(T&E) on military C4ISR systems. They are
experts in the development and implementation
of advanced communications
architectures and technologies in support of
network centric warfare. Northrop Grumman
Corporation is a global defense and technology
company whose 120,000 employees
provide innovative systems, products, and
solutions in information and services, electronics,
aerospace, and shipbuilding to
government and commercial customers
worldwide. CET supports Northrop Grumman
Corporation in designing airborne networking
communication systems.
To ensure that mission-critical information
and intelligence is readily available to the
warfighter, air and ground forces must be
able to communicate efficiently and reliably.
CET leverages OPNET Modeler's network
modeling and simulation environment to
design and evaluate networks that enable
robust communications on the battlefield.
CET models all seven layers of the protocol
stack and tests the performance of different
protocols and applications over the network
in software. By leveraging Modeler's extensive,
open source model library, CET
validates the behavior of communication
devices in tactical networks such as
Raytheon's Enhanced Position Location
Reporting System (EPLRS).
"OPNET Modeler's high-fidelity simulation
environment lends itself easily to predictive
and iterative analysis. The ability to incorporate
real terrain data into the simulation
enables us to optimize our network and
device designs to accurately reflect battlefield
conditions."
