Abstract:
This report presents the results of a communications system modernization study for the radio room of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) high endurance cutter (WHEC) and medium endurance cutter (WMEC). A four step sequential analysis approach was undertaken in the production of this report. Step 1 characterized the WHEC and WMEC operational environment. Based upon this environmental characterization, the mission and operational requirements were then determined in step 2. During step 3, technical requirements were derived from the operational requirements. Finally in step 4 and from the technical requirements, a recommended communications modernization approach and architecture was proposed. Previous trade-off studies and analysis have focused on identifying and assessing requirements

for functional modifications and additions to existing system components supporting USCG operations. This report presented options and recommendations to the USCG on how to improve USCG communications capabilities within a modular architectural framework that was independent of specific spectrum, radios, modems or processing equipment. This approach allowed trade-offs concerning equipment types and transition mechanisms to be performed within the context of a well-defined and established architectural framework.
