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.

• Document Type: R2 Budgetary Justification
• Publication Date: Oct 01, 2021
• Source ID: 0303153K_7_0400_PB_2021
• Change Summary Explanation: The decrease of -$0.210 in FY 2019 reflects a transfer of funding to Small Business innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. The decrease of -$1.499 in FY 2019 is due to a decrease in the number of prototype assessments that were accomplished for future capabilities during FY 2019. The decrease of -$2.170 in FY 2020 is due to a Congressional general reduction. The increase of $10.277 in FY2021 is a result of increase to develop Joint Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) capabilities that provide situational awareness and joint integrating leveraging in the Electronic Warfare Planning Management Tool, the Joint Spectrum Data Repository and the Global Command & Control System – Joint (GCCS-J).
