Systems and methods for active frequency table (aft) generation

A system for generating an AFT for a plurality of HF ground communication sites, comprising:

• an external communication interface that collects forecast atmospheric condition information in a vicinity of a plurality of HF ground communication sites from multiple available sources with which the external communication interface is in communication;
• a frequency selection device that selects a relatively best HF frequency to support HF radio wave propagation for communications with each of the plurality of HF ground communication sites from separate sets of discrete licensed HF frequencies for the each of the HF ground communication sites;
• and
• an AFT generation device that (1) deconflicts potential interference between the selected relatively best HF frequency for at least one of the plurality of HF ground communication sites and the selected relatively best HF frequency for others of the plurality of HF ground communication sites, and (2) generates the AFT for the plurality of HF ground communication sites,
• the external communication interface transmitting the generated AFT to the plurality of HF ground communication sites for implementation.

A non-transitory computer readable medium on which is recorded instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute the steps of a method for generating an AFT for a plurality of HF ground communication sites, the method comprising:

• collecting forecast atmospheric condition information in a vicinity of a plurality of HF ground communication sites;
• selecting a relatively best HF frequency to support HF radio wave propagation for communications with each of the plurality of HF ground communication sites separate sets of discrete licensed HF frequencies for the each of the HF ground communication sites;
• deconflicting potential interference between the selected relatively best HF frequency for at least one of the plurality of HF ground communication sites and the selected relatively best HF frequency for others of the plurality of HF ground communication sites;
• generating the AFT for the plurality of HF ground communication sites based on results of the selecting and the deconflicting;
• and
• transmitting the generated AFT to the plurality of HF ground communication sites for implementation.
