Nowadays, military operations are organized as coalitions. The armed forces that are deployed have technological features (communication, routing) that create wireless networks. The mobility of these forces on the ground means that the network has a highly dynamic topology. This is a mobile wireless network, more commonly called MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETwork). For mission and communication efficencies, interconnection between the various groups participating in the coalition is necessary. However, each member of the coalition has its own architecture and wants to keep independancy from the other groups technologies. This situation is similar as the Internet construction, where operators were able to interconnect their infrastructures with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). It is important to create a protocol that can connect all the groups involved in the coalition. This protocol should allow inter-group connections, easily support topology changes and apply routing policies that specifies groups on the route preferences, for example. In this thesis, we first study the adaptability issues of BGP on MANET. Then, we study the proposals that have been made in the literature. Next, we present ITMAN (Inter Tactical Mobile Ad Hoc Network) in its first version and the improvements that have been made. Finally, we will conclude this manuscript with the perspectives that can be highlighted following this thesis. ; Les théâtres d'opérations militaires s'organisent aujourd'hui sous la forme de coalitions. Les forces armées qui sont déployées possèdent des moyens technologiques (communication, routage) et créent des réseaux sans fil. Le mouvement de ces forces sur le terrain donne au réseau une topologie fortement dynamique. Il se caractérise comme un réseau sans fil mobile, plus communément appelé MANET (Mobile Ad hoc NETwork). Pour l'efficacité de la mission et des communications, il est intéressant d'interconnecter facilement les différents groupes participant à la coalition. Cependant, chaque membre de la coalition possède sa propre architecture et souhaite rester autonome, sans s'adapter aux autres. Comme les opérateurs ont pu le faire lors de la création de l'Internet avec le protocole BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), il est nécessaire de créer un protocole qui connecte tous ces groupes participant à la coalition. Ce protocole doit permettre de créer des connexions inter-groupes, supporter facilement les changements de topologies et appliquer des politiques de routage qui permettent d'indiquer des préférences de groupes à emprunter, par exemple. Dans cette thèse, nous allons dans un premier temps étudier la non-adaptabilité de BGP sur les réseaux MANET. Puis, nous étudierons les différentes propositions de la littérature. Ensuite, nous présenterons notre solution ITMAN (Inter Tactical Mobile Ad hoc Network) dans sa première version et les améliorations que nous avons pu y apporter. Enfin, nous terminerons ce manuscrit par les perspectives qui peuvent être menées suite à cette thèse.

International audience ; New generation radio equipment, used by soldiers and vehicles on the battlefield, form ad hoc networks and specifically, Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET). The battlefields where these equipment are deployed include a majority of coalition communication. Each group on the battleground may communicate with other members of the coalition and establish inter-MANET links. These inter-MANET links are governed by routing policies that can be summarized as Allowed or Denied link. However, if more than two groups form a coalition, blocked multi-hop communications and non-desired transmissions due to these restrictive policies would appear. In this paper, we present these blocking cases and theoretically evaluate their apparition frequency. Then, we present two alternatives to extend the binary policies and decrease the number of blocking cases. Finally, we describe an experimental scenario containing a blocking case and evaluate our propositions and their performance.
