Spectrum Management ensures bandwidth, interoperability, and availability of Information Operations Counter-IED jammer inadvertently disrupts BlueForce tactical communication s Unknown/ Uncoordinated UAV enters Battlespace and causes harmful EMI to tactical communication

s Incoming forces supporting a Humanitarian relief effort unknowingly disrupt civilian infrastructure Poorly managed spectrum disrupts Ground C2 High Power radar shuts down civilian infrastructu re

Undetected EMI prevents countermeasure system from engaging incoming threat Inadvertent EMI isolates platform from other C2 nodes Compatible operations ensure information availability and integrity and must be appropriately managed (Electromagnetic Environmental Effects) Unclassified 6
