Defense Spectrum Organization

Abstract

Electromagnetic Spectrum Management enables information dominance through effective spectrum operations. In direct support of Combatant Commanders, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (ASD/NII), Military Services, and Defense Agencies, the Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO), a component of DISA, provides a full array of electromagnetic spectrum services and capabilities, ranging from short notice on-the-ground operational support at the forward edge, to long range planning in pursuit of national strategic objectives. The DSO is the center of excellence for electromagnetic spectrum analysis and the development of integrated spectrum plans and strategies to address current and future needs for DoD spectrum access. In addition, DSO serves as DoD's spectrum advocate at national and international forums and conducts extensive outreach to both industry and government. DSO also implements enterprise spectrum management capabilities to enhance spectrum efficiency and agility to improve spectrum-dependent capabilities in support of United States and Coalition operations. This includes acquiring, implementing and sustaining the Global Electromagnetic Spectrum Information System (GEMSIS) which provides an integrated catalog of joint net-centric spectrum management tools and services.
