Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new technology to meet customers’ changing needs. Saab has about 13,000 employees. Annual sales are EUR 2,5 billion. Research and development corresponds to about 20 percent of annual sales.

Place of action
Security and Defence Solutions, a business area of Saab, offers command and control systems, airborne early warning systems, civil security systems and solutions, training and simulation, as well as telecom carrier.

Saab Security and Defence Solutions division Communications develops communication equipment for tactical networks. These networks are characterized by heterogeneity in transmission technologies, link capacities as well as a high degree of mobility in the network.

Your future challenge
Tactical networks are characterized by heterogeneity in transmission technologies, link capacities as well as a high degree of mobility. The difficulties are further compounded by intermittent connectivity. Single nodes or sometimes parts of the network occasionally loose connectivity with the rest of the network to later reconnect. These networks are often referred to as Mobile Ad-hoc (MANET) [1] or Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTN) [2].

This project aims to evaluate different well known DTN routing protocols. The evaluation should reflect the specific conditions delay tolerant networks face in a military setting, such as, security, mobility, jamming of radio signals and loss of nodes.

The project includes a requirement specification of DTN routing in a military setting. This specification is used to select a number of suitable routing protocols for the study. Furthermore, simulation will be used to evaluate the selected routing protocols. For this the routing protocols need to be implemented in a modern network simulator such as NS3 [3] or omnet [4]. The expected results of the project is an analysis of DTN routing in a military environment, implementation of a number of different DTN routing protocols in a modern network simulator as well as a written report of the findings of the simulations.

Today’s demands
This project is suitable for a master’s student in computer science, electrical engineering, engineering physics or other relevant education. Excellent programming skills in C++, C# or Java as well as analytical abilities are required. Furthermore, the student should be structured and be able to work independently.

The application should include a short personal letter, CV and a transcript of grades from relevant university studies. Furthermore, a written report in English from a university course should also be enclosed with the application to evaluate the student’s ability to express him/her self in written English. Upon request the student should also be prepared to provide samples of programming code.
