800-HDBK-0001 (REV. B), WALLOPS FLIGHT FACILITY (WFF): FREQUENCY UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK (15-APR-2009)

800-HDBK-0001 (REV. B), WALLOPS FLIGHT FACILITY (WFF): FREQUENCY UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK (15-APR-2009)., The Suborbital and Special Orbital Projects Directorate (SSOPD) (Code 800) is responsible for managing radio frequency (RF) spectrum∗ utilization at the Goddard Space Flight Center/Wallops Flight Facility (GSFC/WFF). The Wallops Frequency Utilization Management Working Group (WFUMWG) helps to meet this responsibility. The Working Group includes representatives from the SSOPD, Applied Engineering and Technology Directorate (AETD) (Code 500), Surface Combat Systems Center (SCSC), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Wallops Command Data Acquisition (CDA) Station. The WFUMWG operates under the Charter provided in Appendix A. This manual is issued by the SSOPD at WFF and establishes the responsibilities and procedures for management and coordination of RF spectrum utilization at GSFC/WFF. The manual does not contradict or supersede the responsibilities or authority of the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information or the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Normally, this manual will have little impact on GSFC/WFF organizations’ internal procedures for spectrum coordination, management, assignment, or allocation. Optimum use of the RF spectrum with minimum interference for host and/or tenant operations at WFF will require effective planning, coordination, and cooperation of the Working Group members and their supporting organizations.
