Spectrum Common Operating Picture (SCOP)
Abstract
Spectrum Common Operating Picture (SCOP) will provide an automated end-to-end capability to pull together all of the spectrum and other related data sets currently used to support spectrum planning and operations, and layer this data to provide a clear visualization of the spectrum environment, similar to how a Geographic Information System (GIS) layers geospatial and related data. There is no comprehensive automated tool or service available today that allows decision makers to set priorities with the benefit of a common display of timely and relevant spectrum information. The proposed capability would provide operational and tactical planners and commanders in the field with a comprehensive layered picture of spectrum use through a Service Oriented Architecture-based web service tied to a GIS driven by robust, accurate information. Current manual and time intensive data gathering, correlation and visualization methods are not responsive to operational requirements and place undue risk to warfighters and mission accomplishment. SCOP will substantially reduce analysis and presentation time, from weeks/days to minutes/seconds. That situational awareness will enable real time decisions based on the area of operation and mission planning factors, resulting in more effective mission planning for the spectrum management community as well as for operations planners, electronic warfare planners, and intelligence collection.
