Radio-based techniques play a crucial role in location determination and tracking applications, such as search and rescue operations, military reconnaissance, and wireless communication systems. Radio direction finding (RDF) and geolocation using Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) and Frequency Difference of Arrival (FDOA) are two prominent methods employed for this purpose.

On July 29, 1858, the United States and Japan signed the Treaty of Amity and Commerce (the Harris Treaty). Townsend Harris, the first U.S. diplomatic representative to Japan, negotiated the arrangement, which became effective July 4, 1859. A New York merchant with experience in Asia, Townsend was appointed consul general to Japan in August 1856 and began his assignment shortly thereafter. Harris was not welcomed and was ignored by the Japanese authorities for more than a year. He operated in diplomatic isolation out of the Gyokusenji Buddhist temple in Shimoda.

Did NIOC Hawaii just change the command name to NIOC Pacific?

Earlier this year, the Naval Information Operations Command (NIOC) Hawaii/CTF 1070, underwent a significant expansion of its administrative control (ADCON). This expansion welcomed three new commands into its fold, namely NIOC Whidbey Island/CTG 102, NIOC Colorado/CTG 101, and FES San Diego, adding to its already substantial size. Before this development, NIOC Hawaii’s responsibilities encompassed overseeing NIOD Korea, NIOD Alice Springs, and departments in Yokosuka, Japan, and Cambria, Australia. With this strategic shift in ADCON, NIOC Hawaii has solidified its position as a commanding presence throughout the entire Pacific region.

Although the command name will officially change later this year, many at the command are using NIOC Pacific in their official email signature line.
