Studies toward improved VoIP services for future combat systems

In this paper, we propose adapting a well proved approach from the telephony world to characterize voice over IP (VoIP) performance and develop improved capabilities for tactical VoIP deployments. The approach relies upon the development of an equivalent E-Model specific to military, tactical deployments of VoIP services. We define the approach necessary to develop such a model, and describe it's potential benefits to the DoD.
