New Spectrum Paradigms
Abstract
DSO new spectrum paradigms is to investigate emerging spectrum related technologies and evaluate their applicability to improve future warfighter EM spectrum utilization through technological innovation. The goal of the EST program is to identify the opportunities and risks associated with emerging spectrum-related technologies in the early stages of the technology development, influence and lead technology development in order to maximize DoD spectrum utilization, and ensure that spectrum policies incorporate optimal technology to meet DoD mission requirements. Within EST there is an increased focus on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA). DSA is realized through wireless networking architectures and technologies that enable wireless devices to dynamically adapt their spectrum access according to criteria such as policy constraints, spectrum availability, propagation environment, and application performance requirements. DSO has the responsibility to investigate emerging spectrum related technologies and evaluate their applicability to improve future warfighter EM spectrum utilization through technological innovation. The goal of the EST program is to identify the opportunities and risks associated with emerging spectrum-related technologies in the early stages of the technology development, influence and lead technology development in order to maximize DoD spectrum utilization, and ensure that spectrum policies incorporate optimal technology to meet DoD mission requirements. Within EST there is an increased focus on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA). DSA is realized through wireless networking architectures and technologies that enable wireless devices to dynamically adapt their spectrum access according to criteria such as policy constraints, spectrum availability, propagation environment, and application performance requirements. The Joint Spectrum Data Repository and Tools program supports development of spectrum management tools, spectrum modeling and simulation capabilities, spectrum database development, and spectrum data transformation and standardization. This program provides the Combatant Commands (COCOMs) and Military Services with the spectrum management tools and associated databases to manage spectrum resources at the strategic and operational level. It also provides the DoD acquisition community with analytical tools to conduct Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) analyses and Spectrum Supportability Risk Assessments (SSRA).
