A system and method are provided that advantageously combine Commercial-off-the shelf hardware and software components in a portable, ruggedized package for remotely monitoring radio-frequency (RF) spectrum activity with regard to a specific platform, structure or location for an extended duration. Provisions are made for remote access to, and analysis of, monitored spectrum activity data. The disclosed systems and methods evaluate spectrum usage over time, facilitate management and enforcement of spectrum allocations and restrictions, conduct extended spectrum surveillance, and analyze interference without on-site user involvement. RF spectrum analyzers, are connected to an onboard computer processing capacity, an integrated power supply, network backhaul connectivity components, and onboard diagnostic capabilities to support the remote unattended operation of the package. Data analysis components in communication with the remote package are used to generate custom graphs and reports for data reduction. |
