Joint Spectrum Center
Abstract
The Defense Spectrum Organization’s (DSO) Joint Spectrum Center (JSC) designs, develops, and maintains DoD automated spectrum management systems, evaluation tools, and databases. The JSC databases are the prime sources of information for DoD use of the Electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The JSC provides technical measurement and analysis in support of DoD spectrum policy decisions to ensure the development, acquisition, and operational deployment of systems are compatible with other spectrum dependent systems operating within the same EM environment. Additional focus is centered on improving future warfighter EM spectrum utilization through technological innovation accomplished by researching, studying, and steering the direction of research and development (R&D) emerging technology efforts from a spectrum perspective. DSO’s Global Electromagnetic Spectrum Information System (GEMSIS) is a net centric capability that will provide commanders with an increased common picture of spectrum situational awareness of friendly and hostile forces while transparently deconflicting competing mission requirements for spectrum use. This capability will enable the transformation from the current preplanned and static assignment strategy into autonomous and adaptive spectrum operations. The FY 2012 increase of $8.163 million is due to implementation of the Global Electromagnetic Spectrum Information System (GEMSIS)Increment 2 (+$6.4M). Increment 2 will provide for much more dynamic management of spectrum assets in operational theaters and enable Commanders at all levels to make better decision on the deployment of spectrum assets. The JSC Data and Date Software (JDADS) program increases in FY2012 (+$1.0M) to support deployment and software enhancement of Spectrum XXI On-line (SXXIO) which provides a set of enhanced frequency nomination and assignment algorithms that affords the opportunity to make more spectrally efficient frequency assignments. The Emerging Spectrum Technology (EST) program increases in FY2012 (+$0.8M) in support of the Department’s increased need for dynamic spectrum access (DSA)capable systems. Exploiting DSA capable technologies will allow the DoD to expand spectrum sharing and to access under-utilized spectrum as recommended by the President’s wireless broadband memorandum. In FY 2010, in response to urgent requests from USCENTCOM, DSO realigned resources within this program element to begin development of a SCOP prototype capability. The prototype will be evaluated by spectrum operational users in COCOMs and MILDEPs to refine requirements and to demonstrate the ability to display multiple sets of data, each organized by frequency.
