Mobile Low Frequency Warning System Feasibility Analysis.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a technical analysis and a cost estimate for a Mobile Low Frequency (LF) Warning System which is survivable against enemy attack through the use of redundancy and dispersion. The technical feasibility is shown based on shared use of AM, FM or TV broadcast station facilities under Program D-Prime by LF mobile units to blanket the contiguous 48 states with warning messages relayed from the National Warning Centers, or to warn of impending man-made or natural disasters and to coordinate recovery operations. Alternatives to the system architecture are discussed, and a preliminary system performance specification and cost estimate are included. (Author)
