dc.description.abstractDisruption-Tolerant Networks (DTN) offer a solution for environments with intermittent connectivity by overcoming the limitations of traditional topology constraints. Prior Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) research on Network Control Systems (NCS) rely on continuous communication, which restricts the search capabilities of unmanned vehicles (UxV). This research integrates DTN to address these constraints and enable network partitioning. Simulation results show that certain DTN configurations improve NCS performance by enabling dynamic communication patterns, which allow UxVs to expand their search area and locate enemy targets. However, parameter combinations vary in effectiveness, with some configurations offering distinct advantages while others do not improve performance. The results indicate that effective operational planning is necessary to identify the best parameter combinations that align with the mission’s objectives and account for UxVs resource limitations. This research contributes to optimizing NCS performance by offering less restrictive communication solutions and paving the way for future advancements in UxV network management.en_US
