SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT SUPPORT SERVICES

1.0 INTRODUCTION:

This PWS covers efforts necessary to provide the Navy and Marine Corps Spectrum Center (NMSC) and Naval

Information Warfare Development Center (NIWDC) with essential spectrum support in the planning, retention, protection and effective use of electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) resources in support operations to the Department of the Navy (DoN).

1.1 MISSION:

The Commander, Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) generates, directly and through the Information Warfare

(IW) enterprise, agile and technically superior manned, trained, equipped, and certified combat-ready IW forces to ensure Navy will decisively deter, compete, and win. NAVIFOR is responsible for Navy IW force generation and delivery to naval and joint operational commanders; IW doctrine, policy and governance; training requirements; and community management. NAVIFOR directs military and civilian employees to generate IW readiness across the

Fleet, including direct administrative control of over 85 commands and activities across the globe.

NMSC – an operational force under NAVIFOR – exercises management and control of electromagnetic spectrum

(EMS) matters for the Department of the Navy (DoN). As delegated by the operational chain-of-command, NMSC serves as the representative of the DoN in Joint, Allied, National, and International meetings and organizes, coordinates, formulates, and implements policies and procedures to support the DoN's interest in EMS matters worldwide. In addition, NMSC provides subject matter expertise in the management and control of EMS for the

DoN.

NIWDC – another operational force under NAVIFOR – is responsible for conducting advanced IW tactics development, warfighting analysis, and advanced training across the IW Community at the individual, unit, group and joint levels; ensuring alignment across deploying and ashore Fleet units. NIWDC provides training in EMS capabilities.

1.2 BACKGROUND:

The DoN requires radio frequencies (RF) spectrum expertise at the national level to ensure cohesive and effective spectrum management interoperability support between the DoN and the other federal agencies throughout the

Government. In executing its functions and responsibilities, NMSC supports the following three (3) primary program areas:

Frequency Assignment

Frequency Assignments are required in order to radiate RFs. These are submitted in either the Standard Frequency

Action Format (SFAF) or in the Government Master File (GMF) format by NMSC to the National

Telecommunication Information Administration (NTIA) where they are voted on by other federal agencies belonging to the Frequency Assignment Subcommittee (FAS).

Spectrum Plans and Policy

Spectrum Plans and Policy involve analyzing submissions and preparing analyses and position papers for preparing for national level spectrum policy meetings as well as international spectrum policy meetings such as the World

Radio communication Conference (WRC). These meetings support and protect the Navy’s use and continued access to the RF spectrum.

Spectrum Reallocation

The RF Spectrum is a limited natural resource that both government and commercial entities worldwide are trying to utilize. The utilization of RF dependent systems is increasingly leading to more congestion within the federally allocated bands as well as encroachment by commercial spectrum users looking for greater spectrum access. NMSC is responsible for the defense of Navy spectrum usage within the federal coordination channels as well as from commercial encroachment.

These support areas provide a balanced approach to achieving overall spectrum management for the DoN. This balanced approach requires spectrum support to review and analyze various Joint, National, Allied, and International policies, regulations and procedures; research and evaluate spectrum requirements; and identify, analyze, and recommend measures to resolve radio frequency interference and encroachment problems. Spectrum support of the spectrum management program, as a whole, requires the resources essential to execute the three (3) program areas.
