Navigational Telex (NAVTEX) Modeling

Abstract

The Coast Guard (CG) currently maintains 12 Navigational Telex (NAVTEX) broadcast transmitters. These transmitters are part of the International Maritime Organizations (IMO) Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) and provide essential Marine Safety Information (MSI) to mariners. The CG Telecommunication and Information Systems Command (TISCOM) and Command, Control, and Communications Engineering Center (C3CEN) are working to improve the Coast Guards NAVTEX system by recapitalizing the NAVTEX transmitters with power levels optimized for the published coverage area. They also plan to add additional monitoring capability. In this report, RDC provides transmitter power recommendations along with candidate locations for NAVTEX monitoring sites.
