A Blockchain System for MUM - T in Tactical Wireless Networks

In this paper, we propose a blockchain system for manned-unmanned teaming (MUM- T) in tactical networks. Stable networks are required to achieve the benefits offered by blockchain technology, such as decentralization, traceability, integrity, and security. Tactical networks for MUM - T are inherently highly dynamic because they must support battlefield operations. Therefore, a blockchain system should consider the characteristics of tactical networks. The proposed blockchain system maintains multiple blockchains, integrating all blockchains into one joint block periodically. Thus, blockchain fork probability is significantly reduced compared with conventional systems with a single blockchain.
