TCI Talks Blackbird Updates and Drone Detection at AOC Show

TCI used the occasion of the 56th Annual AOC International Symposium and Convention in Washington, D.C. last fall to discuss two of the company’s most important offerings. The Blackbird COMINT system now features faster scanning, plus lower size, weight and power to make the system more capable. TCI is also promoting is counter-UAS detection and classification system for military and commercial applications. Richard Thomas of Shephard Media has the story here.

5G: The Promise and the Perils

The introduction of fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology will bring a marked increase in capabilities that will benefit users in developing and developed countries alike. But this latest solution to the world’s seemingly insatiable demand for bandwidth also poses challenges for communications intelligence professionals. Kevin Davis of TCI spoke with Armada International’s Tom Withington about the operational implications of 5G on COMINT.

USTTI Course 20-113
Practical Applications of Spectrum Management and Spectrum Monitoring
May 11 – May 15, 2020
Fremont, California (Northern Silicon Valley)

Course description
The course focuses on the practical application of ITU-compliant spectrum management and monitoring techniques and the modern-day challenges associated with both, including licensing tools, propagation analysis tools, radio direction finding and signal measurements for fixed, mobile and transportable applications. The course employs classroom and hands-on activities to provide students with a practical overview of spectrum management and monitoring techniques and their interaction. Classroom time is used to instruct in system planning and coverage analysis, the principles of propagation analysis, operational principles of a monitoring station, principles of signal measurements, radio direction finding, signal identification and recording and RF drone detection techniques. The hands-on portion of the course will demonstrate real-time application of the principles taught in the classroom and include mission planning, operational set-up, running missions and data analysis.

Learning Objectives
To learn practical implementation of spectrum management, spectrum monitoring, radio direction finding and signal measurement techniques as they relate to the international standards of the ITU and today’s signal environment. This includes:

  1. management tools;
  2. monitoring coverage and planning tools;
  3. propagation analysis tools;
  4. radio direction finding;
  5. signal monitoring, identification and correlation to the frequency management database;
  6. spectrum occupancy observations and analysis as part of the frequency management function;
  7. transmitter measurements as required to ensure compliance to the radio regulations; and
  8. spectrum management and monitoring in a 5G world: new solutions for 5G and beyond.

Focus
Managerial and high level technical, with emphasis on hands-on demonstrations.

TCI’s longstanding commitment to spectrum monitoring includes advancing the state of technology, as well as enhancing the expertise of users. This year’s seminar offers you an unusual opportunity to acquire practical knowledge and technical insights from an exceptionally accomplished team of spectrum professionals. We hope you’ll join us.
