It covers spectrum management roles, frequency records, spectrum certification, and the use of Federal and FCC non-licensed devices. It requires spectrum-dependent local purchases to undergo review before funds are obligated and requires operators to stop radiation when interference is reported.
The 744 CS ISM is responsible to the Host Installation Commander (316th Wing Commander) through their chain of command, for managing all spectrum use on the installation and areas under control of the installation commander. (paragraph 4)
Spectrum certification is the statutory process whereby national regulatory bodies, NTIA and Federal Communications Commission review telecommunications systems for compliance with national spectrum standards and determine electromagnetic compatibility. (paragraph 4)
Local purchases of spectrum-dependent systems will be reviewed by the installation spectrum manager to evaluate spectrum supportability prior to the obligation of funds.
DoD activities should not use non-licensed equipment for critical tactical or strategic command and control applications essential for mission success, protection of human life, or protection of high-value assets, as they offer no protection of spectrum use in support of operational requirements.
Upon notification by cognizant spectrum management personnel that the device is causing interference, the operator of the non-licensed device shall cease all radiation from the device until it can be proven that further use will no longer cause interference.
