DEFINITION
The processes, disciplines, and governance that enable the planning, engineering, and management of electromagnetic spectrum used by DoD.
We will enable information dominance through effective spectrum operations. We will provide commanders direct operational support, including electromagnetic battlespace planning, deconfliction, and joint spectrum interference resolution. We will develop and implement net-centric enterprise spectrum management capabilities to enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and we will pursue emerging spectrum technologies that may either benefit or impact DoD’s ability to access the electromagnetic spectrum. We will advocate for current and future military spectrum requirements in national and international forums to protect DoD global operations.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
- Provide operational support, including communications, electronic and Electromagnetic (EM) battle space planning and deconfliction, and Joint Spectrum Interference Resolution (JSIR) support.
- Serve as the DoD focal point for developing the Department-wide strategic EM spectrum planning.
- Enable DoD to collaborate with the national regulator (National Telecommunications and Information Agency (NTIA)) in addressing the Presidential Initiative to reallocate spectrum from federal use to commercial use in order to accommodate wireless services.
- Increase Spectrum Management (SM) efficiency and mission effectiveness of spectrum-dependent systems through the development and implementation of automated enterprise SM and information services.
- Enable DoD to implement and manage dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technologies in spectrum-dependent systems.
PRIORITIES
- Enhance operational support.
- Lead development of DoD strategic spectrum planning.
- Perform spectrum management and engineering analyses to support national spectrum reallocation initiatives.
- Implement, integrate, and improve net-centric spectrum management services and capabilities.
- Influence and implement emerging spectrum technologies, specifically DSA.
