Advanced Radio Network Planning for Electromagnetic Operations
Reliable communication and resilient spectrum usage are essential for modern defense operations. Commanders must ensure that communication systems and electronic warfare assets work reliably in complex environments.
SPECTRAemo provides a focused planning environment for electromagnetic operations, helping military users assess radio coverage, anticipate interference, and make informed spectrum decisions through high-performance offline analysis. With efficient channel assignment and clear visibility of the electromagnetic environment, SPECTRAemo strengthens operational readiness and supports spectrum superiority across mission scenarios.
Key Features SPECTRAemo for Tactical Radio Planning
Empowering Armed Forces with precision, automation, and resilient connectitivity
Electromagnetic Coverage (Modeling) Prediction
SPECTRAemo includes a comprehensive library of wave-propagation models for defense and security operations. Planners can model signal strength for communication, electronic warfare, radar, drone, and sensor systems under realistic terrain and environmental conditions. The tool supports single-emitter and network-wide analyses, giving users fast insight into coverage across an operational area.
Spectrum Deconfliction
SPECTRAemo provides robust tools to identify and mitigate interference in complex mission environments. It calculates interference contours, highlights overlaps, and considers usable field strength, nuisance fields, and mission-specific protection ratios. Intermodulation effects can also be assessed, supporting reliable and predictable spectrum planning.
Offline High-Performance Planning
Designed for disconnected operations, SPECTRAemo delivers fast results through multithreading and parallel processing on up to 32 cores. Optimized 64-bit services and local databases ensure stable, efficient calculations without external dependencies. This high-performance offline capability supports time-critical missions where speed and accuracy matter.
Mission-Ready Link Planning
SPECTRAemo evaluates radio links from single connections to complex networks. It analyzes path profiles, including line of sight, Fresnel zones, terrain, and clutter, to confirm link reliability. The tool also supports MANET network planning, helping users design resilient communication networks before deployment.
Structured Data Management
With its dual-database architecture, SPECTRAemo protects authoritative reference data while enabling flexible planning. Technical parameters, templates, and validated records remain secured, while planners work in their own safe environment. Dedicated station, antenna, and protection-ratio databases simplify setup and ensure consistency and interoperability across missions.
Automation & User Guidance
SPECTRAemo accelerates complex workflows with scripting and macro automation. Repetitive tasks can be predefined, enabling users to focus on mission objectives. Guided workflows support less experienced users, while unattended batch processing ensures results are available when needed - enhancing efficiency and mission readiness.
Empowering Defense Forces in the Electromagnetic Battlespace
SPECTRAemo equips military operators and commanders with advanced planning, interference management, and spectrum control
Yes. SPECTRAemo supports standardized data formats such as ITU, XML, and CSV, enabling smooth data exchange with other LS telcom solutions or third-party systems. In addition, it is compatible with common vector formats including SHP, TAB, DXF, and KML/KMZ, ensuring seamless integration with GIS, situational awareness, and mission-planning tools.
This allows SPECTRAemo to operate as part of broader military system architectures and ensures full interoperability with command-and-control (C2) and mission management systems while maintaining data consistency and traceability.
SPECTRAemo is designed for both expert and non-technical users.
Radio-frequency specialists and spectrum analysts benefit from full analytical flexibility, including access to propagation models, parameter settings, and complex interoperability studies.
At the same time, less-experienced users such as soldiers or field operators are guided through standardized workflows, predefined macros, and automated procedures. These macros simplify demanding tasks such as coverage analysis, interference checks, and channel assignment into clear, step-by-step processes.
LS telcom offers comprehensive training programs tailored to military users. These include product-specific training for SPECTRAemo, covering installation, operation, and advanced analysis functions, as well as foundational training on the electromagnetic environment (EME).
This training supports a deeper understanding of radio propagation, spectrum usage, and interference mechanisms.
Yes. SPECTRAemo can import, analyze, and compare measured field data with calculated predictions. This enables validation of operational coverage, identification of interference sources, and continuous improvement of model accuracy based on real measurement results.
Yes. SPECTRAemo can be deployed in secure, air-gapped military networks and operates fully offline, with all calculations, databases, and models stored locally.
Optionally, a shared reference database can be deployed within the internal network, allowing multiple users to work with consistent datasets while retaining full control over access and IT security.
SPECTRAemo covers the full electromagnetic spectrum, from LF and HF through VHF/UHF to SHF bands. It includes ITU-compliant propagation models (e.g. P.452, P.533, P.1812), suitable for terrestrial, maritime, and satellite-based military communication systems.
