Advanced Network Analyzer (DANA)
DANA is a Microsoft Windows® based software product used to verify the interoperability of IP-based radio platforms.
DANA can monitor the network performance of a tactical airborne network, determine the status of the quality of network communication and debug errors in the radios, protocols, waveforms, and network configuration under test.
DANA may be configured to monitor the network performance of various types of commercial and military wireless networks, as well as to analyze routing and forwarding between IP-based and Tactical Data Link (TDL) subnets through a gateway.
Applications
- Flight Test
- Network Administration
- Waveform Development:
- DANA will study the effects of both valid and invalid messages injected into a network when used in conjunction with the DataSoft Scenario Automation Tool for Radio Networks (SATRN)
Markets
- JTRS, Military, Homeland Security, Public Safety Communications Systems Development

DANA Showing a Live Network Monitoring Session
The DANA user interface is divided into panes that can be managed individually.
The left panes provide a list of the nodes and links being tested and their current status on the network.
The right panes provide additional drill-down detail on each of the nodes and links.
The center pane is a visual representation, superimposed on a geographic map, of the location of each node and link.
