It covers spectrum-dependent system procurement, Cyberspace Infrastructure Planning System requests, non-licensed devices, and Family Radio Service radios. It requires coordination, interference controls, approved requests, and compliance with applicable federal requirements.
Applies to: This instruction applies to all units assigned, attached, and associated to the 9th Reconnaissance Wing and Beale AFB.
Commanders must manage assigned radio frequencies to meet key mission needs.
When submitting a CIPS request, include as much information as possible about spectrum-dependent components (e.g., Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ID number, manufacturer, make, model number, frequency range, power level, etc.).
Upon notification by spectrum management personnel that the device is causing interference, the operator of the non-licensed device shall cease all transmissions from the device until it can be proven that further use will no longer cause interference. (paragraph 4)
Users will not modify, modernize, enhance, or change the equipment’s power, antenna, waveform, or information transfer characteristics in any manner that would cause it to violate the NTIA criteria for non-licensed devices or the device’s FCC type certification. (paragraph 4)
FRS users may not purchase and operate FRS radios for planned communications operations that safeguard human life or property. (paragraph 4)
