Agenda Spectrum Management Operations have evolved in recent years from a pre-mission planning task into an ongoing operational activity spanning well beyond Signal operations across all Warfighting Functions, and with direct responsibility for the Electronic Protect (EP) pillar within Electronic Warfare (EW). This discussion will cover where Army Spectrum Management Operations stood on 9-11, how it evolved in response to Counter- IED actions, the relationship with EW, and how the Army will pursue modernization of one of the three pillars of Cyber Electromagnetic Activities. 2

Cyber/Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA) Cyber electromagnetic activities are activities leveraged to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage over adversaries and enemies in both cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum, while simultaneously denying and degrading adversary and enemy use of the same and protecting the mission command system. (ADRP 3-0) The three components of cyber electromagnetic activities are cyberspace operations, electronic warfare, and electromagnetic spectrum operations. Planning, coordination, and managing use of the electromagnetic spectrum through operational, engineering and administrative procedures to de-conflict all systems. Employ cyber capabilities to achieve objectives in and through cyberspace DoD Information Network Operation Offensive Cyberspace Operations Defensive Cyberspace Operations Spectrum Management Frequency Assignment Host Nation Coordination Policy Cyberspace Operations Spectrum Management Operation Integration Electronic Warfare Use Electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy Electronic Attack Electronic Protection Electronic Warfare Support 8

Functions of EW EM jamming EM deception Directed energy Antiradiation missile Decoys Flares Electronic Attack Use of EM energy, DE, or antiradiation weapons to attack personnel, facilities or equipment with the intend of degrading, neutralizing, or destroying enemy combat capability and is considered a form of fires. Electronic Warfare Support Actions tasked by, or under the direct control of, an operational commander to search for, intercept, identify, and locate or localize sources of intentional radiated EM energy for the purpose of immediate threat recognition, targeting, planning, and conduct of future operations. Electronic Protection Actions taken to protect personnel, facilities, and equipment from any effects of friendly or enemy use of the EMS that degrade, neutralize, or destroy friendly combat capability Spectrum Control EM hardening Emission control Threat warning Collection supporting EW Direction Finding 10
