Welcome to the Cetan Nagin - Shadow Hawk Remote Signals and Communications Intelligence System Installation Manual

Cetan Nagin - Shadow Hawk Remote Signals and Communications Intelligence System is an intelligence gathering and analysis system using distributed control, and analysis built on  OS independent XAMPP  Server platform. Cetan Nagin - Shadow Hawk operating system's independence allows the Remote Signals and Communications Intelligence System to function on both Windowstm, and Linux based operating systems. The automatic local control of the remote radio receivers, direction finders, and analysis programs is accomplished via a local XAMPP server, a free and open source cross-platform web server package, consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MySQL database, and interpreters for scripts written in the PHP and Perl programming languages.. Remote Control of the Remote Signals and Communications Intelligence System is accomplished by remotely accessing HTML web pages and MySQL database located on the remote XAMPP server. The use of generic HTML web pages and MySQL database allows remote access, control, data access, and data analysis across multiple operating system platforms. The user can control multiple Cetan Nagin Systems functions from any computer, smart phone, or netbook with tcp/ip internet access.
