New Developments in Navy Spectrum Management Systems

Two recent developments in Navy spectrum management systems will give both the afloat and ashore community a quantum increase in their management of their communication assets in a limited frequency asset environment. The principal intent of both systems was the automation of those functions which either involved tedious and rote manual operations or involved complicated computational capability and are therefore often ignored. The creative thought of the system still rests with the communicator. The emphasis was on local, limited scale computational support as opposed to the centralized accessed large scale computer.
