b. Within the above definition of the Army Electromagnetic
Compatibility Program, equipment characteristics are controlled
through development and application of equipment standards and
specifications, through the controls imposed by the equipment
allocation procedures, and through test designed to confirm the above
characteristics.
The environmental impact, from the stand-point of
electromagnetic interference, of the operational use of such
equipments
is
determined
through
electromagnetic
compatibility
modeling, test, and analysis and is controlled through doctrinal and
procedural development, documentation, training and inspection.
All
efforts to achieve electromagnetic compatibility must serve the user,
must be responsive to the real needs of the user, and must integrate
the user into a program which he understands and in which he
participates. Hence, there is a continued emphasis on feedback from
the field.
All Army commands engaged in any communications-
electronics activity are responsible for the preparation and
implementation of management procedures, practices and plans to
assure that electromagnetic spectrum congestion and interference are
reduced to the practical limits, consistent with the accomplishment
of their mission. Among the measures specifically required are:
(1) Development
and
use
of
efficient
assignment
plans.
(2) Use of minimum required output power
minimum occupied
bandwidth, maximum flexibility of tuning, and
maximum use of
directional antennas.
(3) Use of time-sharing techniques.
(4) Maximum use of equipment
and
techniques
which
do
not
radiate electromagnetic energy.
(5) Designation of Army Electromagnetic Compatibility Program
project officers or other points of contact within appropriate staff
of the command.
(6) Training of
personnel
in
operational
disciplines
and
spectrum conservation.
(7) Detecting, reporting, solving and correcting operational
electromagnetic compatibility problems, either through the use of
local
resources
or
through
assistance
obtained
from
Army
electromagnetic compatibility test and analysis facilities.
