The future airborne network needs to provide routing, transport protocols and quality of service over radio links which will experience periodic outages due to line of sight occlusion caused by aircraft's wings and tail. To create and test the performance of protocols under these conditions it is necessary to correctly model the outages resulting from aircraft occlusion. We extended OPNET to model this phenomenon and compared our results to connectivity status data from a Joint Expeditionary Force Exercise in 2002, (JEFX 02.)
