    • Abstract:
      The U.S. Coast Guard must routinely interact with other (Federal) government agencies (OGA), State and Local agencies, and various public safety organizations in the performance of its missions. In most areas of the country this was primarily local police and rescue forces, but agencies such as Customs, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Border Patrol might also be involved. Unfortunately, the communications equipment and operating frequencies of each of these organizations were different than those used by the Coast Guard. The R&D Center was tasked with identifying communications technologies to solve this interoperability problem. This report identified various alternatives that were either commercially available now, or would

      be in the near future. The main interoperability requirement was to provide communications across various frequency bands. However, in many cases a simple cross-band repeater would not work because different modulations and/or channel bandwidths were used. Another problem was that different groups used different encryption methods. And finally, many public safety organizations were moving to trunked systems for better spectrum utilization. Any interoperability solution must accommodate all of these demands.
