Abstract. In the past few years, significant progress has been made in software defined networking in a quest to increase automation, improve network agility and security, simplify network configuration and reduce resources to establish and maintain the network. There are now a vast number of studies exploring how to utilise policies to achieve these goals. Applying outcomes of these studies to military networks requires a clear understanding of military applications and available mechanisms to implement the appropriate policies in a software defined networking environment. In this paper, we identify several military networks where automatic policy defined networking is crucial. We further present a prototype policy defined networking solution that automatically translates high-level policies into device level implementations.
