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 increase of +$0.221 in FY 2015 supported engineering efforts within the GEMSIS Program. The decrease of -$0.044 in FY 2016 will reduce Spectrum Technology and Test Initiative enhancements supporting Spectrum Engineering Analysis and Relocation efforts. The FY 2017 decrease of -$3.894 results in the elimination of the DoD Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) program; including Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation Ordnance (HERO) surveys, acquisition program reviews, and development of spectrum management techniques for emerging spectrum technologies.
