Abstract: The Anglova scenario, originally developed by the NATO IST-124 Research Task Group, provides a mechanism to evaluate network algorithms, solutions, and applications under tactical network constraints. Originally based on narrowband waveforms, it emphasizes connectivity over throughput. However, data-intensive applications based on Artificial Intelligence, Ma-chine Learning, and Virtual Reality demand higher bandwidth. This paper presents an enhanced Anglova scenario based on wideband waveforms, drone relays, and extended gateway functionality, offering a testbed with a more modern communications architecture to support advanced traffic models and evolving tactical communication needs.
