Real-Time Spectrum Operations (RTSO)

Abstract

Real-Time Spectrum Operations (RTSO) develops tools, processes, and algorithms to conduct spectrum planning, sense and monitor the electromagnetic (EM) environment, characterize and predict electromagnetic (EM) environmental effects (E3), and manage and maneuver to avoid and mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and EM vulnerability of 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 EM systems interactions within the other systems installed on strike ship units. RTSO developed a capability to sense and monitor shipboard EM spectrum usage and validate spectrum plans to support Emissions Control (EMCON) within the strike group. RTSO software validates and displays spectrum plan compliance with a spectrum common operational picture. This EM spectrum management aid, combined with an Own Force Monitoring (OFM) sensor input, supports Battlespace Awareness and Information Operations. These self-awareness and validation capabilities greatly enhance the Navy's ability to perform command and control of the EM spectrum warfighting domain. FY 2024 will develop and test Spectral Warrior capability replacements and begin to deploy OFM capability to non- Ship's Signal Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) platforms. Additionally, funds will allow further Joint Capability Technology Demonstration (JCTD) Radiant Touchstone development efforts. (Details held at a higher classification)
