It s been three months since the Defense Department unveiled its new, updated electromagnetic spectrum strategy and some of the first implementation priorities expected this year will be modernizing IT tools and untangling regulatory constraints.
DOD is working on an implementation plan, expected to be completed in March, to address capability and policy challenges with a new governance body and improving spectrum tools, said Frederick Moorefield, the deputy chief information officer for Command, Control, Communications, and Computers and Information Infrastructure Capabilities. In the 2013 version, we did an implementation plan, but I would call it a soft implementation plan. There wasn t a lot of visibility. We didn t raise it up to the [defense] secretary to get signed out, Moorefield told FCW. So what we re doing differently this time is complete this implementation plan that has specific actions in there and dates and who s responsible.
