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 (EM) environmental effects (E3), and manage and maneuver to avoid and mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and 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 effects 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 developed 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 validates and displays spectrum plan compliance with a spectrum common operational picture. This EM spectrum management aid with an 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 2023 will develop, test and integrate Spectral Warrior capability replacements and begin to deploy Own Force Monitoring (OFM) capability to non- Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) platforms.
