MILDEP SMOs will make organization determination on the format being used within their Military Department for Spectrum Certification. Based on an informal poll 10/27/09, one organization is requesting
ELCID only from the Program Office, two organizations are requesting a
DD Form 1494 produced in Word, PDF,
SCS or Stepstone and/or an
ELCID file, and one organization is not mandating any specific format for collecting
DD Form 1494 data. Until permanently locked-down, Spectrum Certification System will likely be the most prevalently used system for producing
DD Form 1494 PDF files for Foreign coordination. Even when SCS is permanently locked-down, SCS may remain the most predominantly used system for producing the readable
DD Form 1494. Stepstone is currently at the Army Information Management Support Center (IMCEN) for inclusion within AKO. The Stepstone
DD Form 1494 editor should be available before Thanksgiving 2009 to produce
DD Form 1494 PDFs for foreign coordination and internal DoD coordination, after acceptance and integration by the services is complete.
