6. Satellite-Terrestrial Hybrid Networks
Integration of satellite and terrestrial communication systems produces a strong and all-encompassing network architecture required for contemporary robotic battlefield operations. To guarantee continuous connectivity over several operational settings, these hybrid networks combine geostationary satellites, medium and low earth orbit constellations, and ground-based relay stations among several layers of communication channels. Automatically optimising routing channels between satellite and terrestrial links, advanced network management technologies provide flawless communication handover and low latency. To preserve signal quality throughout several transmission media, the architecture uses adaptive coding methods and advanced error correcting techniques. Redundant pathways of communication and automatic failover systems guarantee mission continuation even in cases of compromised individual network components. The system also boasts superior quality of service management, giving important command and control traffic first priority and effectively managing normal data flow. Moreover, the hybrid network design has edge computing features and distributed caching systems to maximise bandwidth use and lower communication latency in tactical environments.
