Abstract: The study investigates and develops components for implementing an effective and efficient military knowledge/information/communication in closed network architecture. Since, military personnel are always on the move, the dissemination of knowledge/information/communication needs a mobile platform to accommodate mobility of people. The mobile and wireless network platform should be able to sustain the remoteness and seclusion of military operation areas. Communication is one of key problems of a military operation, especially due to environmental constraints. This study proposes on development of Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) gateway communications for military operation using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The operational areas are considered to restricted and challenging locations. Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) gateway communications using IoT technology will become inexpensive and common over the next decade Thus, a thorough study is vital to develop the most suitable Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) gateway equipment and network requirements for Malaysia’s military eco-system.
