Dynamic Spectrum Access Decisions

Appendix ASpectrum Management Task List

This appendix describes the current spectrum manager task list to include each task and their supporting sub‐tasks. This appendix also contains flow charts that describe the collaboration process between spectrum managers and the EW Cell.

A.1 Tasks

A.1. Tasks assigned or associated with spectrum management are based on unit specificity. Spectrum management encompasses a wide range of military activities and missions. Each unit will have standard operating procedures to enable spectrum management operations.

A.2. Each unit provides the spectrum manager with a unique set of circumstances. As an example, assignments to Aviation units differ from Special Operations units in the deployment and use of SDD and related systems.

A.1.1 Plan the Use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum for all Spectrum Dependent Devices

A.3. Planning for spectrum use requires information from a variety of sources. The spectrum manager uses force structure templates to plan missions. Forces submit spectrum requirements for all devices used for the mission to the spectrum manager. The spectrum manager submits frequency proposals to appropriate agencies in the correct format (SFAF or SSRF). Frequency record creation in the appropriate database prevents other units from requesting the same spectrum resources. Supporting sub‐tasks for plan the use of the electromagnetic spectrum for all spectrum dependent devices include—

• Conduct a data call.
• Generate frequency proposal. ...
