Abstract
During natural or manmade disasters,
communication infrastructures break down due to
massive destruction and subsequent loss of services.
Effective rescue operations require a rapidly
deployable high bandwidth network to carry out
necessary relief efforts involving helicopters up in the
sky and first responders on the ground. However,
transmitting video and running high bandwidth
applications over the network consisting of if RF
(Radio Frequency) links is challenging. Our aim is to
develop an avionics system consisting of a fast, high
bandwidth, self configurable and reliable network for
rapidly establishing communication among the
helicopters and first responders in a disaster area. The
