Department of Navy Posture

While we currently dominate the undersea

domain, cyberspace and the electromagnetic

spectrum present a different set of challenges

and a lower barrier to entry for our potential

adversaries.

Our FY2013 budget submission furthers our

goal to operate effectively in cyberspace and

fully exploit the electromagnetic spectrum.

Key investments support development of a

common operational picture of cyberspace

and the electromagnetic spectrum.

These investments also support robust

defense of our networks and improve our

ability to use non-kinetic effects to defend our

ships from attack, conduct offensive

operations, and conduct superior command

and control. 6

Congress on FY2013 Department of Navy

Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage Roadmap Recent Publicity – Industry Day

STRENGTHENING THE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE,

presented by RDML Jerry Burroughs, PEO C4I.

RDML Burroughs – General comments made: • Must manage and ensure EW Spectrum Operations ‐‐ C2 of Spectrum.

• Navy must change and address spectrum usage.

• He called out the 4 pillars that comprise the EM Spectrum Usage Roadmap – Assured Spectrum

Access, Real Time Spectrum Operations, Strategic Acquisition Engineering and Outreach and

Training.

• When the Admiral was talking about the EM Spectrum Usage Roadmap, he left his script,

looked at the audience and told them that the EM Spectrum Usage Roadmap is a very

comprehensive document and addresses A2AD – denied EME.

‒ He recommended that the audience obtain a copy and read it.

US Navy’s Information Dominance Roadmap for Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage

• GOAL 1 – Assured Spectrum Access (ASA)

– Support the National Broadband Plan

– Influence spectrally flexible integrated antennas

• GOAL 2 – Real-time Spectrum Operations (RTSO)

– Dynamic Sense & Report

– Dynamic Re-tasking of capability

• Goal 3 – Strategic E3 and Spectrum Acquisition Engineering

(SAE)

– Spectrum embedded in Architecture & Enterprise

• Goal 4 – E3/Spectrum Outreach and Training (O&T)

– Align Training to Navy Tactical Tasks (NTA) Performance Goals

Support the Information Dominance Vision by delivering

assured access to the electromagnetic spectrum when and wherever required to

operate spectrum dependent systems in the maritime environment.

Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) – Summary

• The Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) / Spectrum Management (SM) NTSP

– Identifies requirements to support the Navy’s E3/Spectrum Supportability (SS) Program and provides

training information related to ships, submarines, aircraft, and shore stations.

• The primary goal of the Navy’s E3/SS Program is:

– Enhance force performance by correcting, preventing, and controlling degradation to the war fighting

capability caused by the interaction of the Electromagnetic Environment (EME) with Navy equipment,

systems, platforms and personnel;

– Control Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and perform SM to enable spectrum-dependent systems to

perform their functions in the intended EME without causing or suffering unacceptable interference.

• Training Supports Navy Tactical Tasks (NTAs):

– Training concept is based on duties and responsibilities to accomplish fleet (NTA 5.5.6 Perform

Spectrum Management and NTA 5.5.6.1 Control Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)) E3/SM and

acquisition (NTA 5.5.6.2 Assess Electromagnetic Environmental Effects) mission requirements.

– Training concept supports Mission, System and Human Performance Requirements.

• Support the Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage (EMSU) Road Map (RM)

– Training exemplifies the Outreach & Training Goal within the “U.S Navy’s Information Dominance

Roadmap for Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage (EMSU),” published April 2011.

• It is a non-equipment NTSP

– Not associated with any equipment acquisitions, installations, or schedules

Measuring Fleet E3/Spectrum Readiness

• DRRS-N Task Performance Considerations:

– Personnel,

– Equipment,

– Supply,

– Training,

– Ordnance, and

– Facilities

• To participate in DRRS-N, an organization needs an approved MET List (METL)

– The METL is the new language for expressing mission requirements and capabilities

– It is also the reference point to align efforts for continuous improvements to mission performance

and mission readiness
