The primary purpose of the strategic spectrum manager is to manage the command's/activity's requirement, assignment, and use of radio frequencies. Radio frequency managers must be trained in fundamentals of spectrum analysis, in international/national/DOD allocation and assignment procedures, in the effects of EMC/EMI on the frequency spectrum, in terrain analysis, and in DOD/military service's spectrum management programs and systems.
Radio frequency Managers normally work under the cognizance of the G-6/CEO and must be knowledgeable of all organic equipment requiring the use of a radio frequency (tactical and commercial radios, radars, sensors, silent alarms, radio modems, etc.). The radio frequency manager must be capable of computing the command's/activity's need for radio frequencies and requesting the assignment of frequencies from the appropriate command or frequency management activity. They must be capable of preparing a radio frequency plan or spectrum management standard operating procedure to assure adequate assignment of radio frequencies and minimum interference among radio frequency users.
