New Spectrum and Operating Realities • Mobile broadband is a disruptive
technology transformation – Key platform for technology innovation in
the US – Engine for economic growth, job creation
• Spectrum capabilities also provide an innovation platform for DoD – Growing requirements to gather, analyze
and share information rapidly, control more ISR assets; train as we must fight; gain access into denied areas
• Dynamic tension between balancing both sets of user requirements – DoD actively supports national economic
goals for wireless broadband (500 MHz) – Collaborating with partners on solutions

Why This Matters: DoD Operational Implications
• Broadband technologies • IEEE Standards
• Digital RF Memory • MMW • Advanced C2 nets
• Weaponized COTS • Proliferation
• Directed Energy (EMP, HPM, laser) • GPS jammers
• Speed/Throughput/ Streaming Content
The foundation upon which DoD builds weapons systems is changing; DoD efforts to recognize and to build to a new foundation are critical to national security
• Economic Growth • Jobs Creation

Spectrum Sharing Key to Global Operational Flexibility and Effectiveness
• National efforts to improve spectrum access must converge toward an end goal of global operational effectiveness
• Spectrum Sharing is key to assured spectrum access: both efficient and effective use once access is gained
• Spectrum policy and regulatory frameworks must evolve to balance and enable rapidly developing technology advances around spectrum sharing to benefit both federal and non-federal requirements
• The framework must support new agile systems that will be built for a more contested and congested operational environments

Vision for Change: Spectrum Strategy
• “Call to action,” 3 Goals: – Expedite development of spectrum
dependent systems with increased efficiency, flexibility and adaptability
– Increase agility of DoD operations
– Sharpen responsiveness to ongoing spectrum regulatory and policy changes
Focus on Cultural and Technology Transformation: from reactive to proactive; evolve governance, accountability and oversight; collaboration and partnerships; embrace and exploit technology evolution
EMS Strategy’s Vision: “Spectrum Access When and Where Needed to Achieve Mission Success”

DOD Committed to Viable Sharing Solutions • DoD actively collaborating with FCC and NTIA to establish appropriate
sharing conditions that are efficient and effective • AWS-3 Auction:
– Record ~$45 Billion in Auction Proceeds; DoD’s innovative alternative proposal key, combining sharing, compression and relocation
• New Forms of Sharing: – 3550-3650 MHz: NTIA identified for sharing in 2010 Fast Track Report and
ongoing FCC rulemaking based on a combination sensing and database sharing solution to protect federal incumbent users; FCC votes on April 17
– 5350-5470 MHz: DoD continues to collaborate with FCC, NTIA and industry on analyses and planned testing to evaluate viability of proposed mitigation techniques to protect federal operations
– Bi-directional Sharing/Access: Opportunities for Federal access to non-Federal bands on shared basis

National spectrum policymakers agree – perpetual relocation is not sustainable; way forward must embrace sharing

DOD S&T/R&D Priorities • Conduct S&T and R&D to burn down DOD risk to
spectrum operations – Ensure no loss in capability if required to relocate, compress or
share spectrum
• Rather than just solving the “short term” challenge of vacating spectrum bands via relocation, provide for spectrum access for the long term: – Build spectrum awareness to find unused spectrum – Improve spectrum agility to maneuver dynamically to available
spectrum – Develop spectrum resilience to operate even in constrained,
congested and contested spectrum environments

Spectrum Access Research and Development Program
• The objective 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 3rd DoD 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 DoD, Federal Gov’t, Industry, Academia, & International

Funds Sources • For projects that seek access to SRF funds, the funds must be approved by the Spectrum Relocation Fund Resource Oversight Group, then submitted to OMB for fund authorization.
• A 30 day Congressional “cooling” period is also required.

NSC Role
• In March 2015, DOD entered into an OTA with the NSC – Purpose of the OTA is to bring spectrum access improvement through
collaboration with industry faster to meet rapidly evolving requirements
• Via the OTA, the SAR&DP will procure Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to support the Technical Assessments
• The OTA is also available to any DoD element to procure spectrum-access related projects approved by the Spectrum C5LB and authorized for funding.
• Advantages – DoD access to Industry & Academia experts – Increased DoD awareness of spectrum-access technologies and ideas. – Fast contract vehicle of procuring spectrum access technologies.

Research & Development Memo For Record (MFR) May 5, 2014
• 2014 Memo enables DOD Use of Spectrum Relocation Fund (SRF) Proceeds for R&D - Memorandum Signed May 5, 2014 between
DoD CIO and OMB - OMB Reserves $500M to “advance R&D to
aid DoD’s spectrum Sharing and relocations efforts.”
• DOD’s Requirement for the funding is to formalize a governance structure in order to ensure: - Projects are necessary for current or
future relocation/sharing associated with AWS-3
- Costs meet criteria from the 2012 Middle Class Tax Relief Act
- Research aligns with the costs described in SRF laws
- Selection, review & implementation of proposals
- Quarterly review of project performance & financial execution against plan
• Build a Governance structure to meet the MFR requirement but also extensible to other sources of funding
