DoD CIO Brief to FCC-NTIA Model City Workshop Mr. Frederick D. Moorefield, Jr. Director, Spectrum Policy and Programs DoD Chief Information Officer 15 April 2015
Overview The objective of the Spectrum Access Research and Development Program is the development and implementation of innovative spectrum technologies Leverages the ongoing DoD EMS Strategy activities focusing on EMS efficiency, flexibility and adaptability to improve spectrum access EMS agility to move to available spectrum bands EMS resilience to operate in congested and contested spectrum environments Current focus is on reducing the risks associated with the implementation of DoD s AWS-3 transition, EMS congestion and EMS contention April 3rdDoD entered into an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with the National Spectrum Consortium (NSC) The mission of the NSC is to foster collaboration between government and industry to identify, develop, and demonstrate the enabling technologies necessary to broaden the military and commercial access to and use of the electromagnetic spectrum NSC currently has 115 committed organizations Further information about the National Spectrum Consortium is available at http://www.nationalspectrumconsortium.com/ Purpose of the OTA is to bring spectrum access improvement through collaboration with industry faster to meet rapidly evolving requirements 2
Approach Conditions for Success must be created: Program Strategy & Plan underpinning investment portfolio Technology must be matured Technology performance demonstrated Experimentation to leverage the technology more effectively Trust in reliability, availability, non-interference, and protection of stakeholder equities Policy environment conducive to technology utilization Ability to transition to PORs to field restored/enhanced operational capability via existing or additional SRF funding Technology Prototype Development, Demo Assessment Architecture Policy Scope: Command & Control Communications Sensors Electronic Warfare Training Assessment in Complex Environment Experimentation Requirements CONOPS,TTPs 3
