Spectrum Strategic Planning & Engineering

Abstract

The Emerging Spectrum Technology (EST) program researches emerging spectrum-related technologies and evaluates applicability to improve future warfighter EM spectrum utilization. The EST improves EM spectrum utilization through technology innovation, investigating emerging technologies, and evaluating applicability. The goal of the EST program is to identify opportunities and risks associated with emerging technologies in the early stages of development, influence technology development to maximize DoD spectrum utilization, and to ensure spectrum policies incorporate optimal technology to meet DoD mission requirements. There is an increased focus on Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) capabilities. DSA is realized through wireless networking architectures and technologies to enable wireless devices to adapt spectrum access according to specific criteria. These specific criteria include policy constraints, spectrum availability, and application performance requirements.
