Abstract
The use of wireless communications in today?s tactical networks is a necessity but at the same time increases the vulnerability to cyber attacks. It is essential to consider the effects of these attacks during network design and operation. Network simulation software, which employs models of real tactical radios, and hardware in the loop functionalities, can be very useful to evaluate the effects of such attacks on the system performance. In this paper, we present the results of our study aimed at investigating the behavior of wireless communication networks under some common cyber attacks and we also consider the effect of some countermeasures in order to minimize the effects caused by the attacks.
