Advanced Military Radio Channels Monitoring System Based on Software Defined Radio Platform: Preliminary Analysis

The use of electromagnetic spectrum monitoring for military emissions is essential due to the mobility and diversity of military operations. A tactical communications system used in the military domain includes encrypted and unencrypted data, voice and video communications using wideband and narrowband waveforms. This research focuses on the development of a high capability monitoring system based on Software-Defined Radio (SDR) technology for monitoring military waveforms. The implemented system has been tested for its ability to detect both wideband military waveforms and narrowband frequency hopping waveforms. The proposed SDR-based system provides a cost-effective solution for military waveform monitoring that can be used for real-time monitoring and analysis of the electromagnetic spectrum.
