AESOP MissionAESOP MissionELECTROMAGNETIC & SENSOR SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT

AESOP is the US Navy tool for Strike Group Radar and Communications Planning for coordinating spectrum

AESOP uses previously allocated frequencies

g g pinteroperability in afloat operations worldwide.

AESOP uses previously allocated frequencies to generate optimal Radar Plans and OPTASK COMMs that adhere to laws and numbered fleets’ emission policiesfleets’ emission policies.

AESOP integrates and de-conflicts the spectrum requirements of all acquiredspectrum requirements of all acquired systems in the global operational electromagnetic environment (EME).
