CONSIDERATIONS ON SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT IN MILITARY OPERATIONS

Summary/Abstract: With the progress of technology encountered over the past decades, the importance of radio frequency spectrum has become more and more visible and recognized. Effective spectrum management in today’s modern battlefield is an important prerequisite to allow commanders at each level to conduct their mission successfully. This includes availability of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence,Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4lSR) capabilities. Spectrum management is an all-embracing activity conducted by the military throughout the battle space, at all levels of command. The process, which enables this activity, relies heavily on the exchange of information amongst the different levels of command and entities that use the spectrum, to include non-military users. Access to this information is essential to provide friendly forces with usable spectrum in a timely and reliable manner so that they can successfully accomplish their mission. This paper highlights few aspects concerning the management of the radio spectrum resource in military operations.
