The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting innovative proposals in scalable, privacy-preserving communications over commercial networks to enable military applications. Generating Communication Channels to Operate (GeCCO) seeks to enable secure communications for military applications in permissive environments by using a flexible communications architecture to deploy virtual network services to preserve privacy by preventing pattern-of-life analysis. Today’s distributed operations across the globe require a small logistical footprint in order to enable collaboration with mission partners while still preserving privacy of communications. GeCCO will overcome this challenge by enabling the secure use of already widespread cellular networks in order to reduce the logistical burden of deploying military systems. Today’s advanced cellular networks enable rapid configuration and reconfiguration through virtualization and software programmability at the edge. GeCCO will use this advanced cellular networking technology to create the virtual network services needed to preserve privacy while improving quality of service compared to today’s tactical radio networks.
