<p>Wireless communications infrastructures can extend command and control rapidly across the battle space.  This study analyzed signal propagation measurements from an 802.16 link in comparison to effects-based  model output. The atmospheric data included in situ measurements, numerical weather model data, and  standard profiles routinely used by operators. The network studied was located in a region of highly  variable terrain and vegetation in Northern Thailand during the COASTS 2007 field experiments. Received  signal data showed a weak correlation with predicted values using Advanced Refractive Effects Prediction  System (AREPS) with in situ and model weather data. Additional comparisons with Interactive Scenario  Builder (Builder) did now show similar performance as a tactical decision aid using variable propagation  conditions.
