<p>The coordination and collaboration of information has never before been more  important to the success of tactical missions. Hybrid wireless-mesh networks have the  capability to put critical information at the fingertips of the operator, enabling tactical units to  successfully carry out their missions. The increasing use of expeditionary and special  operations forces operating in ad hoc, dynamic, and tactical environments poses a need for an  adaptable, flexible, and responsive Deployable Network Operations Center (DNOC) to support  their efforts. Whether co-located or virtual, the DNOC must supply tactical units with the right  information, at the right time, and in the right format. The DNOC must also serve as a rapid,  reliable, and secure communications network platform so that forces can collaborate in a  manner which builds quality interactions and trust. This thesis effort consisted of designing,  building, and implementing a DNOC to support Naval Postgraduate School's Tactical Sensor-  Decision Making Network (TSDN) field experiments. Baseline operating processes were  explored and recommendations for life-cycle maintenance and future upgrades are made.
