Why the Formation of the
DirecNet Advisory Board
The Advisory Board has been established to facilitate the goal of
the National Technology Transfer Act and OMB Circular A-119
that “…encourages the participation of Federal government
representatives in a voluntary consensus standards body
thus increasing the likelihood that standards under
development will meet both public and private sector
needs.” *
* CIRCULAR NO. A-119 February 10, 1998

Study Areas Raised by the Comments
• PHY Layer Overhead Discussions
– Overhead for linearization and transmitter
settling
– Overhead for equalizer training
– Overhead for Doppler compensation and
frequency estimation
– Support for real-time and post-processing
modems
• Power efficiency of pulse shaped OQPSK
vs. QPSK
– Reconciliation of contradictory study results

MILCOM DirecNet Panel
• Goal Expose the DoD community to the approach of the consortium
• Status Panel abstract submitted; awaiting acceptance from MILCOM UNCLASS
panel committee
• Panel Abstract
– There is an ever increasing need for a more robust, higher capacity and interoperable
communications infrastructure to support evolving DoD operational requirements.
David Narkevicius of OSD NII states: “DoD is working to achieve communications
interoperability, affordability, and incorporation of evolving technologies. The
Department depends on reliable and flexible communications to support warfighter
missions. In partnership with Industry, the Department is working to help develop future
communications capabilities. Efforts like the DirecNetTM consortium teaming across
industry are working to provide new communications capabilities offering interoperable,
flexible, high bandwidth communications with a structure to optimize competition for
cost savings to the Department.” This panel will discuss the DirecNetTM vision,
waveform requirements drivers and development status. The focus is on a certifiable,
non-proprietary, high capacity, directional mesh network RF-based waveform standard
providing vendor-to-vendor and joint forces interoperability, while reducing overall life
cycle cost.

JTEN Meeting - DirecNet Objectives
Date: April 6
Location: Naval Research Labs; Wash DC
1. Familiarize JTEN with the Task Force's technical objectives
and multiple company organization.
2. Provide overview of DirecNet waveform to initiate
assessment as a candidate solution for JALN high capacity
backbone and transition capability.
3. Discuss potential DirecNet and industry participation in
JTEN evaluation of future tactical networks.
4. Discuss JTEN representation on the DirecNet Government
Advisory Board.
5. Generate an approach, in coordination with JTEN, for
generating requirements for future tactical networks
– e.g.: “Voice of the Customer" process to be conducted by DirecNet
Participating In The JTEN Meeting Was A Great Success

NATS Meeting
Date: April 8
Location: Lexington Park near Patuxent River
Naval Air Station, MD
• Highlights:
– Government attendee questioned whether acquisition people could
participate due to the potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI) of
assisting industry in generating standards or specifications.
COMMENT/ACTION: DirecNet has policies and procedures in place that
should mitigate any OCI issues. Advice/assistance requested from the
Advisory Board?
– QUESTION: What is the plan for DirecNet certification
ANSWER: Would be dependent on the level of assurance required by industry
(combination of customer and vendor); explained the job of the Open Group
is to ensure that the process is followed.
– QUESTION: Questioned the need for 1 Gbps waveform
ANSWER: This is the high end of the PHY layer standard and that lower data
rates are available
•
Multipath should be heavily considered in the standard
• NATS members were invited to attend future DirecNet Advisory Board meetings
– Ron Broens will be joining the Advisory Board
