Abstract
This thesis specifies a mobile tactical C3CM system covering the HF/VHF frequencies for use by ground forces. The description and analysis of a system that can intercept, analyze, DF, monitor and, if necessary, jam the frequency bands of interest is presented. The system analysis and possibilities of ESM/ECM are considered in order to construct the overall theory of countering enemy communications from a tactical point of view. General system requirements, i.e., tactical, environmental, and human factors are also discussed. A concept of a mobile tactical HF/VHF system is described from performance and functional points of view. Finally, a desired specification is outlined, maximizing use of "off the shelf" available components is presented. A summary and future system projections are also provided.
