6. Department of Navy Posture
 While we currently dominate the undersea
domain, cyberspace and the electromagnetic
spectrum present a different set of challenges
and a lower barrier to entry for our potential
adversaries.
 Our FY2013 budget submission furthers our
goal to operate effectively in cyberspace and
fully exploit the electromagnetic spectrum.
 Key investments support development of a
common operational picture of cyberspace
and the electromagnetic spectrum.
 These investments also support robust
defense of our networks and improve our
Statement of Admiral Jonathan Greenert
ability to use non-kinetic effects to defend our Chief of Naval Operations before the
ships from attack, conduct offensive Congress on FY2013 Department of Navy
Posture on 16 March 2012
operations, and conduct superior command
and control.

7. Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage Roadmap
Recent Publicity – Industry Day
STRENGTHENING THE INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE,
presented by RDML Jerry Burroughs, PEO C4I.
RDML Burroughs – General comments made:
• Must manage and ensure EW Spectrum Operations ‐‐ C2 of Spectrum.
• Navy must change and address spectrum usage.
• He called out the 4 pillars that comprise the EM Spectrum Usage Roadmap – Assured Spectrum
Access, Real Time Spectrum Operations, Strategic Acquisition Engineering and Outreach and
Training.
• When the Admiral was talking about the EM Spectrum Usage Roadmap, he left his script,
looked at the audience and told them that the EM Spectrum Usage Roadmap is a very
comprehensive document and addresses A2AD – denied EME.
‒ He recommended that the audience obtain a copy and read it.

assured access to the electromagnetic spectrum when and wherever required to
operate spectrum dependent systems in the maritime environment.
• GOAL 1 – Assured Spectrum Access (ASA)
– Support the National Broadband Plan
– Influence spectrally flexible integrated antennas
• GOAL 2 – Real-time Spectrum Operations (RTSO)
– Dynamic Sense & Report
– Dynamic Re-tasking of capability
• Goal 3 – Strategic E3 and Spectrum Acquisition Engineering
(SAE)
– Spectrum embedded in Architecture & Enterprise
• Goal 4 – E3/Spectrum Outreach and Training (O&T)
– Align Training to Navy Tactical Tasks (NTA) Performance Goals
Dynamically Locate Spectrum, Organize Systems and Implement Policies to Ensure

9. Navy Training System Plan (NTSP) – Summary
• The Electromagnetic Environmental Effects (E3) / Spectrum Management (SM) NTSP
– Identifies requirements to support the Navy’s E3/Spectrum Supportability (SS) Program and provides
training information related to ships, submarines, aircraft, and shore stations.
• The primary goal of the Navy’s E3/SS Program is:
– Enhance force performance by correcting, preventing, and controlling degradation to the war fighting
capability caused by the interaction of the Electromagnetic Environment (EME) with Navy equipment,
systems, platforms and personnel;
– Control Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and perform SM to enable spectrum-dependent systems to
perform their functions in the intended EME without causing or suffering unacceptable interference.
• Training Supports Navy Tactical Tasks (NTAs):
– Training concept is based on duties and responsibilities to accomplish fleet (NTA 5.5.6 Perform
Spectrum Management and NTA 5.5.6.1 Control Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)) E3/SM and
acquisition (NTA 5.5.6.2 Assess Electromagnetic Environmental Effects) mission requirements.
– Training concept supports Mission, System and Human Performance Requirements.
• Support the Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage (EMSU) Road Map (RM)
– Training exemplifies the Outreach & Training Goal within the “U.S Navy’s Information Dominance
Roadmap for Electromagnetic Spectrum Usage (EMSU),” published April 2011.
• It is a non-equipment NTSP
– Not associated with any equipment acquisitions, installations, or schedules
