Using Standards to Integrate Autonomous EMSO Maneuver in EMSO Planning and Execution
Aug. 22 | 2 PM ET

The IEEE 1900.5.2 Standard Method for Modeling Spectrum Consumption is completing a three-year effort to revise the standard with lessons learned from trying to create tools that use it. This new revision includes new modeling concepts, data schemas, verification rules, improved algorithms and better explanations. These changes are particularly appropriate to support the multiple activities of EMSO. The most recent successes have been in the development of EMBM prototype planning tools. However, the role of spectrum consumption models (SCMs) extends well beyond that. SCMs are a means to give policy to spectrum dependent systems and to manage autonomous behavior that is part of dynamic spectrum access. New work intends to create an equivalent concept for sensing, that captures not only sensed observations but also the sensor characteristics at the time of sensing. The goal is to allow a field of inexpensive sensors that warfighters can deploy in the field to create a near real time understanding of the EMOE. This new sensing standard intends also to be a means to define sensing policy and sensing tasks. Finally, we want to combine the spectrum consumption and sensing approaches to support the development of autonomous maneuver and plays. This presentation will cover both the successes we have had using the standards in planning and the vision for the role these standards could play in achieving ESMO Superiority.
