ACP 194 - Multilateral Planners Conference

UNCLASSIFIEDACP 194– Electromagnetic Environment Effects (E3) Control – Engineeringapplied throughout development to ensure that once the S-D equipmentis fielded/deployed, it can operate successfully within its electromagneticand operational environments–Frequency Assignment – Obtaining an actual assignment or authorization(license) with specific operating parameters (power, bandwidth, antennaht & gain, location, etc.) that allows the S-D equipment to operate.(Generally, the “expectation” of receiving a frequency assignment isinherent in favorable host nation comments on Equipment Certification)f. Spectrum Clearance - Spectrum Clearance is the process of obtaining anactual assignment (or ‘license’) with specific operating parametersOBJECTIVES OF MILITARY FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT103. The objectives of military Frequency Management between cooperating nations areas follows:a. The coordination of the allocation of frequency bands to equipment whereoperation of such equipment is likely to affect existing or future equipmentused by another nation (i.e., where there is a perceived interoperability orEMC issue);b. The exchange of information about national frequency allocations;c. To provide information on the technical and operational characteristics of theS-DD equipment being used or intended for use by each nation;d. To coordinate and obtain frequency assignments for a particular purpose (e.g.,transiting of aircraft, ships, etc);e. As part of EMS planning, coordinate and obtain frequency assignments whentwo or more nations are conducting combined or coalition operations orexercises; andf. To ensure that national administrations understand and represent asappropriate military spectrum requirements at international regulatory forums;g. To harmonize military frequency bands and military radio services allocationwithin bands to facilitate frequency interoperability between nations andensure that these radio services are EMC compatible within these bands;h. To coordinate, defend, and promote military interests in the radio spectrum atvarious national and internal meetings and conferences such as World RadioConferences where international Radio Regulations are amended and have thestatus of treaty.ACHIEVEMENT OF FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES104. The objectives of military frequency management between cooperating nations areachieved as follows:a. Allocations of frequency bands to radio services are coordinated in1-2UNCLASSIFIEDOriginal
