AHybrid, Large-scale Wireless Sensor Network forMissile Defense

TIER3 Abstract- Weintroduce ahybrid, large-scale wireless (GEO) sensor network (WSN) formissile defense that consists of terrestrial andsatellite nodes. Rather thantreating each nodeasanindividual system, we modelthissensor TIER2 network asasystem-of-systems withtheobjective ofreal- (LEO) timetracking ofmultiple ballistic missile threats. We 8\1 X present ahybrid routing algorithm based onacombination ofdatacentricrouting concepts and clustering TIER 1 (Terrestrial) mechanisms. Through simulation, itisshownthatthe siNK performance of thishybridalgorithm significantly improves datathroughput without sacrificing thereal-time
