Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The electromagnetic radio frequency spectrum is critical to the development and operation of a variety of military systems such as radios, radars, and satellites. Due to the changing nature of warfighting, more and more military systems depend on the spectrum to guide precision weapons and obtain information superiority. In recent years, demand for the spectrum increased with advances in commercial technology. This demand has led to competition between government and nongovernment users, making spectrum management vital to prevent harmful interference and to promote spectrum efficiency. With these goals in mind, the Department of Defense (DOD) has long-standing policies and procedures that require system developers and acquirers to consider and deal with spectrum supportability knowledge early in the development and acquisition of systems. Early assessment of spectrum needs provides DOD the opportunity to identify, and therefore, better manage program and operational risks. DOD policy requires developers of spectrum dependent systems to obtain certification before assumption of contractual obligations for the full-scale development, production or procurement of those systems. Senate Report 107-151 and House Report 106-945 required us to assess DOD's spectrum management process. We focused our assessment on (1) the results of the DOD spectrum certification processes and (2) the reasons for those results. We found that DOD's weapons programs have often failed to obtain, consider, or act upon adequate spectrum supportability knowledge during the early stages of acquisition. A majority of programs try to gain this knowledge at later stages, after key systems development decisions may have been made. As a result, some programs experience significant delays, reduced operational capabilities, or the need for expensive redesign. More importantly, these programs missed opportunities to improve program results and avoid problems that are more costly to resolve late in development or fielding. Also, in a review of selected programs still under development, we found that consideration of spectrum supportability continues to be a problem. DOD is still entering into contracts, starting full-scale development, and sometimes fielding systems before obtaining certification of spectum supportability. The reasons for this late attention include program managers' lack of awareness of spectrum certification requirements, dated and unclear spectrum management guidance that is not aligned with current acquisition models, the competing demands of program managers, and a lack of effective enforcement mechanisms of existing spectrum certification requirements. Additional challenges to DOD implementing the spectrum certification process include the lengthy spectrum certification process, increased reliance on commercial communications services and cutting-edge technologies that challenge the traditional allocation of spectrum frequencies.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of commercial mobile wireless communications, such as personal communications services and cell phones, has been escalating worldwide over the radio frequency spectrum. This spectrum is a scarce and finite resource, which serves ever increasing and competing public and private uses. The federal government has supported commercial services by making spectrum available as these services developed over the years. Some representatives of the commercial mobile radio service industry claim additional spectrum is needed to support advanced communications systems, called third generation systems. Other members of the industry question the need for, or feasibility of providing, large amounts of additional spectrum to meet industry requirements. These members point to the need for increased efficiency in the use of spectrum through new technologies. Third generation systems are being developed to provide mobile voice, high-speed data, and Internet capabilities and are expected to contribute significantly to the economic well-being of the United States.

Download or read book Defense Spectrum Management New Procedures Could Help Reduce Interference Problems written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) has become increasingly aware that the use of more commercial and military electronic systems aboard ships, aircraft, and vehicles can cause unintended electromagnetic interactions among systems, resulting in adverse operational impacts. Such unintended interactions are called electromagnetic environmental effects and many interference incidents have already occurred that have limited mission effectiveness. For example, during recent operations in the Balkans, a jammer aircraft's engine shut down when it began transmitting jamming signals, and in Macedonia, electronic equipment experienced problems when hooked up to the local power grid. To help prevent frequency interference problems, DOD has written new procedures for spectrum management, including electromagnetic environmental effects, which are intended to improve its current guidance when acquiring new weapon systems and is in the process of implementing them. The new procedures are contained in DOD's 5000 series directives, instructions, and regulations and provide mandatory policy and procedures for all DOD acquisition programs. Oversight of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the future, warfighters will operate in a dynamic, multi-layered, multi-dimensional battlespace. In this environment, they will rely on robust, secure connectivity between globally dispersed sanctuary locations and positions in theater down to the "last tactical mile". This type of capability will only be attained through a broad array of interconnected networks supporting sensors, shooters, and command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4I) systems. Secure net-centric links interconnecting people and systems, independent of time or location, will provide improved military situational awareness, better access to Department of Defense (DOD) information, and shortened decision cycles. Net-Centricity depends on an environment that provides full connectivity and interoperability to produce and share a common understanding of all dimensions of the battlespace. The key enabler for net-centricity is the DOD Global Information Grid (GIG). The GIG is supported by a seamless communications environment that includes both commercial and military networks accommodating a range of transmission media, standards, and protocols. Extension of the GIG down to the lowest warfighting echelons will be made possible through coupling integrated wireless architectures with spectrum-dependent systems such as communications, weapons, precision munitions, sensors, geo-location, and other wireless devices. As these wireless architectures become reality, the DOD requirement for throughput is increasing dramatically while worldwide competition for electromagnetic (EM) spectrum continues to put pressure on U.S. military spectrum access. Future access to sufficient spectrum will only be achieved through both the application of technologies that increase channel efficiencies and supplements to spectrum available to DOD through the sharing of access to other government and commercial networks worldwide.

Book excerpt: Over the last several decades the Department of Defense (DoD) has increasingly relied upon the availability of radio frequency (RF) spectrum in order to conduct modern warfare. At the same time, there has been a dramatic increase in demand from the commercial sector for the use of the same frequencies and in the same geographies that are critical to the DoD. This is complicated even further as Administrations, including the current one, are making more RF spectrum available for auction in order to provide broadband and mobile capacity to the commercial sector for civilian use - and generate revenues to reduce the deficit. These efforts, combined with pending legislation that could mandate a full inventory of federal spectrum use (including classified use), are resulting in the need for DoD to increase the efficient utilization of the available spectrum in the near term and develop a sound forward-looking strategy for future use of spectrum. The Defense Business Board (DBB) was asked to review DoD's policies in this area and a copy of the official Terms of Reference (TOR) may be found in Appendix A.
