Apparatus and method for communications management
First Claim
1. An emissions management module for a mission management system of a moving platform to reduce an emissions signature of said platform in response to a threat located relative to said platform, said emissions management module being configured to:
- obtain attribute data representative of (i) prevailing emissions control (EMCON) parameters in the form of an emissions control region defined by the relative locations of said platform and another node;
generate, using said attribute data, an emissions plan that complies with restrictions defined by said emissions control parameters, and includes at least an emissions limit defining;
a maximum transmission power permitted to be utilised by an on-board antenna or portion of aperture antenna in a specified direction relative to said moving platform; and
permissible antenna waveforms; and
a specified maximum emissions duration in said specified direction relative to said moving platform; and
permit and restrict usage of on-board sensors in said specified direction relative to said moving platform;
whereby said emissions signature of said platform is reduced in response to said threat.

Abstract
An emissions management module for a mission management system of a moving platform, said emissions management module being configured to: —obtain attribute data representative of (i) prevailing emissions control parameters in the form of an emissions control region defined by the relative locations of said platform and another node; and (ii) a direction of said emissions control region with respect to said platform; —generate, using said attribute data, an emissions plan that complies with restrictions defined by said emissions control parameters, and includes at least an emissions limit defining: a) a maximum transmission power permitted to be utilised by an on-board antenna or portion of aperture antenna in a specified direction relative to said moving platform; and/or b) permissible antenna waveforms and/or a specified maximum emissions duration in said specified direction relative to said moving platform; and/or c) permitted or restricted usage of on-board sensors in a specified direction relative to said moving platform.

15. A method for emissions management in respect of a moving platform to reduce an emissions signature of said platform in response to a threat located relative to said platform, comprising:
-
obtaining attribute data representative of (i) prevailing emissions control (EMCON) parameters in the form of an emissions control region defined by the relative locations of said platform and said other node; generating, using said attribute data, an emissions plan that complies with restrictions defined by said emissions control parameters, and includes at least an emissions limit defining; a) a maximum transmission power permitted to be utilised by an on-board antenna or portion of aperture antenna in a specified direction relative to said moving platform; and b) permit and restrict usage of on-board sensors in said specified direction relative to said moving platform; whereby said emissions signature of said platform is reduced in response to said threat.
