Defense Communications: Federal Frequency Spectrum Sale Could Impair Military Operations.

Abstract

This report discusses our analysis of whether (1) the capabilities of the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) program could be adversely affected by this transfer, (2) other systems could also be adversely affected by this transfer, and (3) DoD, FCC, and the Department of Commerce are taking appropriate and adequate steps to prevent or minimize such impairment. We also discuss potential actions that could more effectively achieve the intent of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 to minimize negative impacts of frequency reallocation on the federal government. This review was performed under our basic legislative responsibility and contains recommendations to the National Security Council, the Department of Commerce, FCC, and the Department of Defense. The report also includes a matter for congressional consideration.
