Learning Event 1: PURPOSE OF TECHNICAL CONTROL
Technical control provides the broad degree of system flexibility
needed for consistent effective utilization of communication resources.
This purpose requires the capability to selectively utilize various
a. Technical Control.
The term technical control applies to both the
function and physical area.
(1) The function is the coordination, operational control, and
supervision of communication facilities, including the performance of tests
procedures.
(2) The physical area is the space occupied by equipment and facilities
which enable the technical control personnel to perform these functions.
This area is called the technical control facility.
