what is data?
are raw facts or observations collected from sensors, systems, or operators.
What does VHF mean?
very high frecuency that ranges from 30 to 300 MHz
What does UHF means?
Ultra High Frecuency that ranges from 300 MHz to 3 GHz
What does the COP contain?
it contains shared information about the overall operational situation.
What technologies support SEDATAM?

what is information?
is data that has been processed, organized, or given context so that it has meaning and can be used
What system provides long-range BLOS communications?
SATCOM/Satellite communications
What is the main characteristic of Satellite Communications?
They provide long-distance communication without direct Line-of-Sight.
What does effective interoperability require?
Common doctrine, procedures, standards, training, and communications.
What type of connectivity does SATCOM provide?
Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) connectivity.
What is SEDATAM?
an integrated framework of personnel, doctrine, and procedures, supported by Information and Communication Technologies
What can reduce with unnecessary transmissions?

What is the objective of SEDATAM?
it is to develop and maintain a Common Operational Picture
What does the OTP contain?
it contains tactical information obtained from own sensors
What does the CTP contain?
it contains shared tactical information from participating units
What type of propagation do VHF/UHF communications primarily depend on?
Line-of-Sight (LOS)
What is the ultimate objective of SEDATAM?
To develop and maintain a Common Operational Picture
What is the main purpose of SEDATAM?
