System and method for providing network addresses to mobile platforms

Abstract

A system and method for assigning network addresses to mobile platforms using a satellite communications link. The network address information is transmitted from a ground station only upon request by the mobile platform, with the mobile platform transmitting a confirmation signal after receiving the network address information. Bi-directional communication is thereby provided between the ground system and specific mobile platforms. The network address information is maintained on-board the mobile platform within a plurality of components to avoid losing the information in the event of a failure of one or more on-board components operating on a network on the mobile platform.
