COMSEC Equipment is getting more complicated with each generation. Each make and model has a different set of data requirements, unlike older equipment which was fairly uniform. As COMSEC platforms move to a more software based solution, the ability to upgrade these systems becomes essential, To do this you need to know who has these platforms and where they are, and be able to notify custodians, deliver the upgrade and directions to the custodians, and verify the gear has been updated. In most organizations this information is scattered across dozens or hundreds of different software systems, or spread sheets, creating an unmanageable mess with no way to centrally use the information.

How can we management COMSEC Equipment better?

CARDS (COMSEC Accounting Reporting and Distribution System) takes care of all of your Configuration Management needs now and in the future. Providing the central authority information in seconds like current software versions, IP addresses, key splits, waveforms, etc. The information stored about a specific equipment type (Short Title) is dynamic and definable by the administrator of the CARDS system. Queries can be run against all of the information stored in the configuration management module in seconds. Software can be loaded into the CARDS system for download by the end user. This creates an end to end solution.
