The electromagnetic spectrum may be the key to prevailing in cyberspace during a conflict, and many of the requisites that apply to other domains also are vital in that realm. Foremost among these is situational awareness, as forces may not be able to win the spectrum battle without effective understanding of its conditions in real time.
The importance of spectrum was discussed by a theater session panel at TechNet Cyber 2022, being held in Baltimore April 26-28. The three-day event offered a heavy representation from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), and two of the five panelists discussion spectrum challenges were from the agency.
