Expression’s December 2018 archive shared reporting by Sydney J. Freedberg Jr., originally published by Breaking Defense on November 27. The article described DISA’s effort to consolidate military spectrum information in the Joint Spectrum Data Repository.
The proposed shared baseline of friendly transmissions was intended to reduce accidental interference and assist signals-intelligence and electronic-warfare analysis. Remarks from then-DoD CIO Dana Deasy connected the repository with cloud infrastructure, resilient communications, and AI-assisted data analysis. The report connected these initiatives with the challenge of selecting useful operational information from large volumes of transmissions.
