Practical case-based guide illustrating the challenges and solutions of adopting IoT in both secure and hostile environments.

IoT for Defense and National Security covers topics on IoT security, architecture, robotics, sensing, policy, operations, and more, including the latest results from the premier IoT research initiative of the U.S. Defense Department, the Internet of Battle Things. The text also discusses challenges in converting defense industrial operations to IoT and summarizes policy recommendations for regulating government use of IoT in free societies.

As a modern reference, this book covers multiple technologies in IoT including survivable tactical IoT using content-based routing, mobile ad-hoc networks, and electronically formed beams. Examples of IoT architectures include using KepServerEX for edge connectivity and AWS IoT Core and Amazon S3 for IoT data. To aid in reader comprehension, the text uses case studies illustrating the challenges and solutions for using robotic devices in defense applications, plus case studies on using IoT for a defense industrial base.

As a revolution in technology, IoT rivals the Internet on which it depends. It is not just another application riding on the Internet, but a fundamental advance in technology. It can automate our world. IoT senses the world, analyzes the data in the light of mission requirements, and then takes actions that affect the physical world. This is unique – closing the loop automatically in the physical world. The only similar technology consists of control systems. In some sense, IoT is a control system for the world. IoT combines three elements – sensing and information extraction, processing, and action. These elements ride on top of digital communication and networking, an infrastructure that has become cheaper, smaller, and ever greater in capacity, especially with the advent of 5G wireless technology. IoT goes beyond sensing and processing information. It fuses the technology that can take control and modify our physical world. Society‐altering consequences, both good and bad, will flow as IoT advances. IoT can leverage human senses, thought, and power, putting people on top of the control loop rather than in the middle of it. Alternatively, IoT can displace human control. Perceiving, formulating a response, and acting to achieve a desired goal are some of the hallmarks of sentient beings. But IoT capabilities extend beyond human senses and exceed our manual powers. Its ability to plan actions already surpasses human performance in some domains. IoT uses distributed sensors, databases, digital documents, and other software applications to extract information from multiple sources across time and space.

Written by leading researchers and practitioners of IoT technology for defense and national security, IoT for Defense and National Security also includes information on:

Changes in warfare driven by IoT weapons, logistics, and systems
IoT resource allocation (monitoring existing resources and reallocating them in response to adversarial actions)
Principles of AI-enabled processing for Internet of Battlefield Things, including machine learning and inference
Vulnerabilities in tactical IoT communications, networks, servers and architectures, and strategies for securing them
Adapting rapidly expanding commercial IoT to power IoT for defense

For application engineers from defense-related companies as well as managers, policy makers, and academics, IoT for Defense and National Security is a one-of-a-kind resource, providing expansive coverage of an important yet sensitive topic that is often shielded from the public due to classified or restricted distributions.
