The demand for allocations and assignments in the radio frequency spectrum
continues to grow in the United States and internationally. The unique
properties of the spectrum combined with this growing demand have created
a significant managment challenge for the Federal Goverment. As a principal
user of the spectrum, the military services are especially dependent upon the
national spectrum management processes. Effective command and control of
forces and optimum use of electronic sensory, navigation, and weapons systems
are all contingent upon the ability to utilize the radio frequency spectrum.
It is the responsibility of the national spectrum management process to
encourage maximum utilization of the spectrum while maintaining
electromagnetic compatibility. The importance of the spectrum to the military
makes it imperative that the services develop a comprehensive strategy to
protect the resources they currently have and help them to compete successfully
for future requirements. This strategy must involve the development of
clear national policy objectives relating to the spectrum, must contain guidance
for improving the utilization of existing assignments, and must provide
direction to new technologies.
