We evaluate ground stations as multi-rolereliability anchors in contested RF control planes.“Ground Station Alpha” (and optionally “Bravo”) withcapabilities={rf_processing, command_relay} actas low-latency fan-out hubs. Using Poisson command streams(λ = 0.35 Hz) and dynamic link quality q ∈ [0, 1], we comparedirect control to hub-mediated routing across single anddual hub configurations. At 20 assets per hub, drop … Continue reading Multi-Role Ground Nodes as Command Relays: Reliability Anchors and Fan-Out Hubs for Routing and RF Processing
