Summary/Abstract: VHF/UHF frequency range is used by a large diversity of communications services: military, commercial FM radio, terrestrial TV channels. More standards are to be deployed during next years. LTE and WiMAX as 4G candidates, TETRA phase 2, DMR, dPMR and many more are only a few examples. All these new radio standards will add new services, among them being the increased protection against radio interception of traffic. This article aims to estimate the potential of new radio technologies for the next five years in the area of mobile radio communications for VHF/UHF frequency range and the impact of these changes for the capability of current radio monitoring systems. Commercial and military radio communications will be considered. The proper answer to these new threats for monitoring systems is Cognitive Radio Sensor. This type of advanced radio sensor will enhance analyst productivity by providing data in forms that will enhance productivity of intelligence extraction.
