Utilize the Global Electromagnetic Spectrum Information System (GEMSIS) to maintain situational awareness of the electromagnetic environment and support operational readiness
Manage the spectrum supportability lifecycle for new and existing systems by processing applications and certifications through the End-to-End Supportability System (E2ESS)
Execute spectrum management actions and workflows using Spectrum XXI (SXXI) to support mission needs and reduce risk of harmful interference
Ensure spectrum-dependent systems and operations comply with national (NTIA), international (ITU), and Department of Defense regulations and policies
Conduct planning, coordination, risk assessment, and data management activities on secure networks to support classified missions and operations
Identify spectrum risks, constraints, and interference concerns early, and drive mitigation planning and coordination to resolution
Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders to enable decision-quality outcomes in high-pressure, high-visibility environments
