System for communication in a tactical network

A system for communicating with a tactical node, said system comprising:

• a first gateway communicatively coupled to a tactical node, said first gateway programmed to:
• store data from the tactical node to create stored tactical node data;
• transmit a data availability message describing the stored tactical node data;
• and
• transmit the stored tactical node data;
• and
• a second gateway communicatively coupled to said first gateway and to a global network, said second gateway programmed to:
• receive from said first gateway the data availability message;
• in response to a first data request received from a client node via the global network, transmit to said first gateway a second data request for the stored tactical node data based on the received data availability message;
• receive from said first gateway the tactical node data;
• and
• transmit the tactical node data to the client node via the global network.

A system for communicating with a tactical node, said system comprising:

• a first gateway communicatively coupled to a tactical node, said first gateway programmed to:
• store data from the tactical node to create stored tactical node data;
• transmit a data availability message describing the stored tactical node data;
• transmit the stored tactical node data;
• provide an application service;
• and
• transmit a service availability message describing the application service;
• and
• a second gateway communicatively coupled to said first gateway, said second gateway programmed to:
• receive from said first gateway the data availability message;
• in response to a first data request from a remote device, transmit to said first gateway a second data request for the stored tactical node data based on the received data availability message;
• receive from said first gateway the tactical node data;
• transmit the tactical node data to the remote device;
• receive the service availability message;
• and
• in response to a first execution request for the application service, transmit a second execution request to said first gateway based on the received service availability message.
