• Configure system networking (IP addressing, managed switch integration, Net Plan changes) and add/calibrate sensors within the C2 platform.
• Perform UI masking, calibration, and profile configuration for C-UAS radar and sensor families (e.g., CACI, Blue Halo, and similar systems).
• Set up and operate RF spectrum analysis tools to observe spectrum, identify known signals, classify signals of interest, and conduct direction‑finding and RF surveys at new locations.
