The radio frequency spectrum is the group of frequency sub-bands within the electromagnetic spectrum associated with radio wave propagation between 9 kHz and 3000 GHz.  Use of the spectrum is a critical element for mission enabling functions such as communication, navigation, sensing systems and weapons employment.  However, the authorization to use spectrum requires an extensive process of val","cbCaidMMm19WEyiW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidMMm19WEyiW","docx",3551597,32,"English","# Purpose and Scope\n# Entry/Exit Criteria\n# Process Workflow and Activities\n# Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)\n# Measurement\n# Roles and Responsibilities\n# Tools\n# Training\n# ACRONYMS, Definitions, Guiding Principles, Ground Rules, and/or Assumptions\n# References to Law, Policy, Instructions or Guidance\n# Attachments","[{\"question\":\"What actions does the spectrum management process require before using spectrum?\",\"answer\":\"It requires validating spectrum needs, certifying systems, and obtaining authorization prior to spectrum use.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is spectrum management considered critical in acquisition programs?\",\"answer\":\"Spectrum usage enables key mission functions, and failure to manage spectrum needs can cause legal violations and harm cost, schedule, and performance.\"},{\"question\":\"What approval is typically needed when U.S. forces operate abroad?\",\"answer\":\"Host nation approval is generally necessary to conduct electromagnetic spectrum operations before operating spectrum-dependent systems.\"}]","Spectrum Management in Acquisition Programs - Standard Process - Description | DOCX"]
