Abstract :
The Revised Battlefield Electronic CEOI System (RBECS) is a software package fielded to supplant the paper booklet signal operation instructions (SOIs), communication electronics operation instructions (CEOIs), and other changing call sign and frequency systems used by the Armed Services and obtained from the National Security Agency (NSA). This paper describes the RBECS software package, its development, its functionality, and how it will supplant the familiar NSA-produced, paper-based changing frequency and call sign systems. It is a chronicle of a PC application superseding an industrial based publication/production effort of considerable size with a budget to match, while simultaneously improving field capabilities
