  SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT
  B-52. The spectrum manager uses automated spectrum management tools to assist in electromagnetic
  spectrum planning and to define support requirements. Planners coordinate frequency use before activating
  any emitter to mitigate or eliminate electromagnetic interference with friendly systems. The spectrum
  manager considers—
  * Transmitter and receiver locations.
  * Antenna technical parameters and characteristics.
  * Number of frequencies desired and separation requirements.
  * Alternate frequencies for key radio networks.
  * Nature of the operation (fixed, mobile land, mobile aeronautical, and over water or maritime).
  * Physical effects of the operational environment (ground and soil type, humidity, and topology).
  * All spectrum-dependent equipment to be employed, including emitters, sensors, and unmanned
  aerial sensors.
  * Start and end dates for use.
  * Restricted and taboo frequencies.
  Note. Refer to ATP 6-02.70 for more information about spectrum management.
