Two important enabling but evolving technologies supporting future DoD network-centric systems at the tactical edge are, mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Despite their value in enabling more autonomous network system operation scenarios, open research and engineering questions remain regarding robust interoperation, standardization, and design of these two technologies. We describe recent research and development that is helping to better understand crosslayer design issues within both MAS and MANET. We describe the problem area and the open software components developed to support our research. We summarize recent modeling and simulation advances in a mixed MAS and MANET scenario environment. MANET multicast approaches for interagent communications are discussed and described. Some early analysis of MAS performance is presented using a variety of interagent MANET communication models. The behavior of MAS autonomous cooperative teamwork and role allocation within disruptive and dynamic MANET environments is examined. We conclude by outlining open issues and areas of further work.
