DOD Sees Success in Test of New Spectrum Detection Platform
The National Spectrum Consortium on Thursday released a case study on Peraton Labs' dynamic spectrum management system, which was developed with $18 million in federal support and trialed by DOD. The operational spectrum comprehension, analytics and response (OSCAR) platform “was demonstrated successfully in nearly a dozen DoD field exercises and installed permanently at Fort Huachuca” in Arizona, the case study said. “It has reduced the time spent locating spectrum interference in training operations from hours or days to under ten minutes.”

The study highlighted the OSCAR platform's features, including “validation of waveforms and spectrum activity, resolution of interference events, localization of emitters, streamlined request and assignment workflows, analysis of potential interference in concurrent missions, use of a spectrum resource pool to automate frequency assignments, real-time spectrum monitoring, audits and alerts and automated modification of spectrum assignments.”
