Policy and Procedures for Management and Use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. DoD Instruction
Abstract
POLICY. It is DoD policy that: a. The electromagnetic spectrum (hereafter referred to as "spectrum") is a critical resource, and access to the spectrum is vital to the support of military operations. Proper management and use of the spectrum available to the Department of Defense shall be an integral part of military planning, research, development, testing, and operations involving spectrum-dependent (S-D) systems. b. Spectrum policy and spectrum management functions shall be guided by the following core principles: (1) Ensure the U.S. warfighter has sufficient spectrum access to support military capabilities. (2) Support a U.S. spectrum policy that balances national and economic security, with national security as the first priority. (3) Use the spectrum as efficiently and effectively as practical to provide the greatest overall benefit to warfighting capability. (4) Pursue spectrum-efficient technologies to support the increasing warfighter demand for spectrum access and encourage development of S-D systems that can operate in diverse electromagnetic environments (EMEs). (5) Actively support U.S. policies and interests in international spectrum bodies and in international and bilateral negotiations for spectrum allocation and use.
