Defense Spectrum Organization

Abstract

The Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) delivers the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS), which consists of frequencies that support worldwide military uses such as mobile phone networks, radios, navigation, and weapons. The DSO supports EMS management through providing software capabilities, engineering, and analytical services to Combatant Commanders, the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer (CIO), Military Services, and Defense Agencies. These capabilities mitigate effects from harmful EMS interference, such as interruption of access, and allow friendly forces to gain and maintain advantages. Accessing the spectrum enables decision making for friendly operations. Access to the radio frequency portion of the EMS provides United States and coalition forces near real-time electromagnetic spectrum data to support operational requirements critical to national security. The DSO delivers capabilities to the DoD integrated spectrum plans and strategies to address current and future needs for DoD spectrum access. These capabilities support decision making related to warfighting, domestic sharing initiatives, and international spectrum treaties. The DSO also delivers enterprise spectrum management capabilities to execute spectrum business management processes.
