Simulating Security and Speed: A Comparative Evaluation of the MobileSecureComm Platform Against Legacy Tactical Communication Systems

As military operations grow increasingly complex, the need for secure, responsive, and scalable communication platforms has never been greater. MobileSecureComm is developed as a next-generation solution designed to overcome the shortcomings of legacy systems like single channel ground and airborne radio systems, enhanced position location reporting system, tactical airborne subsystems, and computer emergency response team-based emergency communications. This paper presents a simulation-based comparative analysis between MobileSecureComm and existing systems, focusing on latency, bandwidth efficiency, interoperability, and cyber resilience. Using scenario-driven simulations, ranging from battlefield coordination to disaster relief operations, we evaluate real-time performance, scalability under network load, and response to simulated cyberattacks. The analysis demonstrates how MobileSecureComm’s architecture, which incorporates artificial intelligence (AI)-driven routing, quantum-ready encryption, and multi-domain flexibility, consistently outperforms traditional platforms in mission-critical conditions. The results highlight both the operational advantages of MobileSecureComm and the remaining challenges in full-scale implementation, particularly regarding backward compatibility and deployment in legacy infrastructures. This study contributes valuable insights into the technological evolution of tactical communication systems and supports the continued development of hybrid, AI-augmented communication platforms tailored to the demands of modern and future combat environments.
