Abstract :
Battlefield Spectrum Management (BSM) has become an increasingly complex function in modern warfare. Many factors contribute to this situation, two of which are the proliferation of dedicated electronic warfare (EW) systems and the exponential increase in speed and volume of information exchange. Manual BSM techniques are no longer responsive to the modern electronic warfare battlefield requirements. Automated aids such as the Army Tactical Frequency Engineering System (ATFES) and adaptive HF technology to assist in network management have been introduced, are helpful, but do not provide a total solution. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) and expert system (ES) technology is explored in this paper as a means to enhance modern BSM.
