The AOC is closely monitoring H.R. 3125, the Spectrum Inventory Act, which was introduced on July 8 and referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.  The bill creates a band-by-band inventory of the spectrum with the purpose of reallocating under-utilized bandwidth for commercial purposes.  The AOC is very concerned about this legislation because the EMS is fundemental to all military mission.  The spectrum is essential for existing and emerging technologies in electronic warfare (EW), Network-Centric capabilities, communications systems, satellite resources, and sensors.  The bill threatens to undermine the growing military requirement to conduct spectrum operations.
