DEFINITIONSTerms used in this Directive are defined in enclosure 2.4. POLICYIt is DoD policy that:4.1. The electromagnetic spectrum (hereafter referred to as "spectrum") is acritical, finite national resource. Access to the spectrum is vital to the support ofmilitary operations. Proper management and use of the spectrum available to theDepartment shall be an integral part of, and essential to, military planning, research,development, testing, and operations involving spectrum-dependent systems.4.2. The spectrum management function shall be accomplished at a levelthoroughly familiar with, and immediately responsive to, the requirements of theoperating forces and sufficiently close to major policy-making offices to facilitatereferral of issues requiring consideration by these offices.4.3.

Efforts to obtain spectrumsupportability for spectrum-dependent equipment or systems being developed shall beinitiated as early as possible during the Technology Development Phase.4.5.1. No spectrum-dependent systems being developed shall proceed into theSystem Development and Demonstration Phase without such a spectrum supportabilitydetermination unless specific authorization to proceed is granted by the MilestoneDecision Authority (MDA). (See subparagraph 5.4.2.5.)4.5.2. No spectrum-dependent system shall proceed into the Production andDeployment Phase without such a spectrum supportability determination unless specificauthorization to proceed is granted by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,Technology, and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) or a waiver is granted by the AssistantSecretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration (ASD(NII)). (Seesubparagraph 5.4.2.5.)4.5.3. No spectrum-dependent "off-the-shelf" or other non-developmentalsystem shall be purchased or procured without such a spectrum supportabilitydetermination.4.6. Consideration shall be given, in accordance with existing Federal regulatoryprocedures, toward sharing the spectrum with other Federal Agencies and withcommercial spectrum users. The sharing of the electromagnetic spectrum used by theDepartment with other Federal Agencies and or commercial spectrum users shall beaccomplished only under the following conditions:4.6.1.
