This course provides an overview of the JTF spectrum Management Lifecycle, the structure of a doctrinal JTF, JTF Spectrum Manager duties and responsibilities, coordination requirements, and campaign planning (Deliberate and Crisis Action Planning (CAP). This block continues with the JTF Spectrum Management Lifecycle discussion presenting a guide with lessons and practical hands-on application for activity planning and competition. The hands-on application is designed to build confidence and familiarize the student with the activities and products required of a JTF Spectrum Manager.

Spectrum Analyzer Course

The course teaches radio direction finding (DF) techniques for use by coalition forces in theater and peacetime operations at the home station. These techniques equip the spectrum manager to isolate and identify radio interference which can negatively impact mission operations. When aircraft fly, they are in contact with ground and other air platforms through several different radio links. These links are passing voice communications, and a variety of different types of data including location and position information, target information, and even real-time video imagery. Management of the radio frequency spectrum is essential to the success of today's wireless, and networked, coalition force.
