Title:
Dynamic Extension of Network for Cyber and Communication
Report Date:

Abstract:
CubeSat-backboned networks maybe the key in providing access to highly dynamic networks since they are cost effective and durable. In this thesis, we examine the efficiency of a CubeSat network for an operational area with multiple unmanned aerial vehicles as relays. Also, we assume the vehicles are equipped with directed antenna technology. A successful communication link between the CubeSat and ground nodes is established using commercial-off-the-shelf components. From our research results, we conclude that an advancement in directed antenna technology and more capable commercial-of-the-shelf transceivers are needed to achieve faster, more reliable, and more secure networks.
