SPECTRUM XXI ONLINE

PRINT PAGE Add This

SPECTRUM XXI Online (SXXIO) is a web-based version of the DoD standard Spectrum Management tool , SPECTRUM XXI for automating all levels of frequency management from sustaining base operations to supporting the Warfighter in Joint Task Force operations. The graphical user interface provides a comprehensive suite of features that enable spectrum managers, at all levels of skill and experience, to easily create, review and track their frequency assignments from initial proposals to final authorization.

STANDARD FEATURES


The window controls in the SXXIO user workspace enable users to query, sort, filter, and organize their records in order to customize and efficiently manage their workflow. The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) of SXXIO provides spectrum managers with state-of-the-art maps from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to view their frequency proposals and assignments graphically.

SXXIO uses Pub 8, the DoD's North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) compatible spectrum data standard that combines frequency assignment data with detailed equipment data, while the SOA provides standard interfaces that will support direct access by other tools

SXXIO features the following attributes:

Frequency Assignment

  • Create and maintain proposals for new, modified permanent, or temporary frequency assignments
  • Exchange and coordinate frequency proposals with other users
  • Provide easier proposal preparation, using plain English field names and pick lists, and using equipment data and shared high-quality templates
  • Identify interference-free frequencies, based on allocation tables, channel plans, or allotment plans
  • Determine frequency proposal compliance and justify exceptions to technical or administrative standards

Frequency Engineering

  • Perform interference analysis, considering transmit and receive curves, locations, terrain, and antenna gain
  • Use enhanced algorithms to identify more available frequencies in congested environments
  • Display a spectrum-analyzer simulation of predicted interference from the environment
  • Provide enhanced statistical modeling of proposed and environmental mobile assignments
  • Analyze band assignments
  • Perform point-to-point analysis to determine the path profile, Fresnel zones, and link metrics
  • Generate coverage plots with talk-out and talk-back

Spectrum Planning

  • Perform Electronic Warfare deconfliction to assess the impact of a jamming mission, including impacts to assignments, guarded frequencies, and Communications-Electronics Operating Instructions nets
  • Create, manage, and share Joint Restricted Frequency Lists (JRFL)
  • Create, manage, and share allotment plans
  • Schedule frequencies at intervals down to one minute, including support for test and training ranges

Administrative

  • Job Account management by Combatant Commands and Services – Help Desk assistance available but not required
  • Agency control of job account creation and access prevents orphaned records and supports standardized organization entries

VALUE TO OUR MISSION PARTNERS


SXXIO provides a set of enhanced frequency nomination and assignment algorithms that affords the opportunity to make more spectrally efficient frequency assignments.
