- Coordinates actions to resolve spectrum interference incidents involving DoD, private sector, and federal users.
- Represents, advocates, and defends Air Force interests in spectrum management matters on DoD, national and international forums.
- Accesses satellites internationally.
- Obtains certification and frequency licenses to operate satellites, land mobile radios, emergency radio systems (air-to-ground and air-to-air), radars, weapon guidance systems, and all capabilities that are spectrum-dependent.
