electromagnetic spectrum

Federal and commercial companies are being asked to relinquish as much space as they can of the electromagnetic radiation frequency spectrum for the Department of Defense. The part of the spectrum that is needed for the current fleet of the U.S. military drones and the next generation of F-35 stealth jets is also being used by cellphone users.

Yesterday, the Department of Defense released a strategy announcing their plans to incorporate future wireless spectrum shortage into its operations and acquisitions. As part of their plans, the DoD will release some of their existing spectrum to share with the private sector where applicable.
