Real-Time Spectrum Operations (RTSO)

Abstract

Real-Time Spectrum Operations (RTSO) develops tools, processes, and algorithms to conduct spectrum planning, sense and monitor, characterize and predict Electromagnetic Environmental Effects(E3), and manage and maneuver to avoid and mitigate Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic (EM) Vulnerability for Navy systems and platforms. RTSO supports Navy and Marine Corps Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations for global spectrum usage and allocation planning. The effort researches the EM E3 between shipboard transmitters and receivers on ships and the interactions of the EM systems within the other systems installed on units within a strike group. RTSO will develop a capability to sense and monitor shipboard EM Spectrum Usage and validate the spectrum plan to achieve Emissions Control (EMCON) within the strike group. The effort will validate and display spectrum plan compliance with a spectrum common operational picture. This EM spectrum Management Aid with own force monitoring sensor input supports Battlespace Awareness and Information Operations. These self-awareness and validation capabilities will greatly enhance the Navy's ability to perform Command and Control of the EM Spectrum warfighting domain. FY 2022 will focus on the testing, integration and transition of the RTSO Own Force Monitoring (OFM) Deployable Mission Module (DMM) capability to meet critical Fleet requirements for Emissions Control (EMCON) validation and Tactical Situation (TACSIT) management on all non-capable ships.
