SPECTRAemo: Tactical Radio Planning for Defense

Training Focus
Modern military operations require efficient planning and analysis of communication structures and electronic warfare (EW). The electromagnetic domain has become a decisive factor for operational superiority. LS telcom’s SPECTRAemo is a specialized planning tool designed to support mission-critical tasks such as coverage assessment, interference analysis, frequency assignment, radar simulation, HF, MANET and UAV planning, and electronic warfare operations.

A thorough knowledge of the available functionality and an understanding of calculation results significantly reduces planning time and improves operational effectiveness.

The seminar introduces the essential features of SPECTRAemo for tactical and strategic planning tasks. The first part of the course is dedicated to general tool handling, databases, and project configuration. Subsequent modules guide delegates through typical operational use cases including communication network planning, interference management, radar calculations, and UAV/flight path simulations. The course will also cover advanced features such as automatic channel assignment, co-site (intermodulation) analysis, and MANET planning.

The training combines short theoretical introductions with practical, tool-based exercises. Delegates will follow the trainer’s demonstrations and complete dedicated exercises, ensuring direct transfer of knowledge to operational tasks.

Course Objectives
After the training, participants will be able to:

• Efficiently perform planning and analysis tasks for communication networks and EW operations using SPECTRAemo.
