The document describes a proposed battlefield management system (SBMS) that would enable secure, low-bandwidth communication between different battlefield components. The SBMS would allow real-time communication between field command posts, sappers, tanks, artillery, infantry, drones, and helicopters. It would need to operate on various platforms with encrypted messages that can include text, audio, video and graphics with low latency. The system would also need to function even when communications are up to 90% jammed, use two-factor authentication, scalable messaging levels, and contemporaneous logging for later analysis.

3. A battlefield situation would include the following (among other )
components:A field command post (possibly in an APC or pillbox).
Sapper moving ahead for mine clearing and wire laying.
A tank component to move in ahead of the infantry.
An artillery component to effect long range shelling of enemy
positions.
• An infantry component (mechanized or light or both) to follow/
range alongside the tanks.
• Drones to relay tactical reconnoitred visual intelligence for action
overlaid on vector maps coupled with satellite camera feeds.
• Choppers for tactical field operations.

6. Each of the components would have to be in real time communication with one or more other
components in an environment where:•
Communications have to be on a very low bandwidth (80 - 90% jammed by the opposition).
•
Communications have to be in fully secure mode via two factor authentication and robust
encryption without large file sizes.
•
The messaging system would have to function across OS platforms including radio
beacons, android versions, software defined radio etc. without discoverable IP addresses.
•
The messaging system should be able to carry, with very low latency, messages including the
alpha numeric, audio, video and graphics.
•
The messages would have to be scalable over various degrees to ensure that a command does
not go unheeded in a battlefield scenario.
•
Logging would have to be contemporaneous for later analysis.
•
The field command post would have to be in concurrent communication with, say, brigade
headquarters with the appropriate secure interface.
