Defense Spectrum Organization

Abstract

The Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) 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. These services/capabilities are in direct support of Combatant Commanders, the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer, Military Services, and Defense Agencies. The DSO is the focal point 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. Electromagnetic Spectrum Management enables information dominance through effective spectrum operations.

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2014 increase of +$0.369 provided contract support to enhance the effectiveness of DoD world-wide access to spectrum. The FY 2015 decrease of -$0.030 is the result of reduced contract support for the development of enhanced analytical tools. The FY 2016 decrease of -$1.070 is due to delays in integrating spectrum capabilities within GEMSIS, transitioning emerging technologies to programs of record, and developing enterprise spectrum capabilities.
