TITAAN
The Theatre-Independent Tactical Army and Air Force Network (TITAAN) was developed for the army and air force. TITAAN ensures that military personnel can use office facilities, such as Internet, printers and servers when on location.

TITAAN was developed for mobile military environments with a command post as the smallest unit. Command posts are equipped with digital infrastructure using a local-area network (LAN) with a 100 mbps ethernet connection. Various office facilities are connected to the LAN:
- user accounts;
- peripheral equipment (printers, plotters, scanners);
- system equipment (servers, routers).
Command posts are connected to one another via Wide Area Links, such as satellite or radio connections.
The components of the TITAAN network were designed to be 'plug and play'. Installing equipment in the field or during exercise preparations therefore goes very quickly. All communications (voice, data, video) is transmitted via a single network. If one network connection fails, the network reconfigures itself automatically and uses an alternate route.
TITAAN consists of replaceable separate modules that combine to form the network. Those separate modules can be replaced easily if a newer version is released. That makes TITAAN easy to maintain.
The network operates on the industry standard Internet Protocol (IP). That standard makes it possible to support TITAAN with the latest network-administration technologies.
