The EMETF will— (1) Assess the ability of Army systems and equipment to operate compatibly in their intended operational electromagnetic environ- ment.
Assessments will include the activities relevant to the C-E equipment systems under consideration and doctrine of both threat and friendly forces. Provide assessment service relative to both u n i n t e n t i o n a l ( c o m p a t i b i l i t y ) a n d i n t e n t i o n a l ( v u l n e r a b i l i t y ) interference. (2) Assess the influence of the intended operational electromag- netic environment on Army systems and equipment concepts and the doctrine for their implementation. (3) Maintain its support capability through three main capabilities which are:
(a) Electronic and electromagnetic measurements of equipment p a r a m e t e r s a n d p e r f o r m a n c e i n c l u d i n g e l e c t r o - o p t i c a l e q u i p m e n t employed by the US, Allied, and Threat forces. (b) Databases describing the structure, activity, equipment param- eters and geographic environment of deployments up to the level of a deployed Army corps, and its opposing threat force, in their expected tactical situation. (c) Analytical capability which incorporates the electromagnetic results of the measurements and deployment database into computer models of C-E equipment employed by the Army in opposition to a corresponding threat force.
The analysis will give measures of per- formance for systems being evaluated in either a one-on-one or many-on-many electromagnetic emitter environment. d. The EMI/TEMPEST branch will make a TEMPEST assess- ment of the equipment or system ability to process classified infor- mation without risking compromise. The branch has a measurement capability that detects emanations from electronic and electro-me- chanical equipment conformity to requirements in this area specified by NSA. Measurement data can be analyzed to ascertain the proba- bility of the system under test being able to complete an assigned mission without risking compromise of classified information. e.
The EMETF facility and the EMI/TEMPEST branch will pro- vide support for all phases of the LCSMM. f. EMEFT services are provided to Army agencies on a cost reimbursable basis. g. Address requests for EMCP services to Commander, EPG, ATTN: STEWS-EPG-TT, Fort Huachuca, AZ 85613-7110, DSN 879-4860 (Commercial 520-538-4860). 3–4. USASC Services for the Electromagnetic Compatibility Program (EMCP) a. The USASC Spectrum Engineering Branch is the implement- ing organization for the operational EMC and propagation engineer- ing (PE) program areas. These responsibilities are contained in AR 10-87. b.
The USASC will provide an operational EMC assurance capa- bility to— (1) Detect, report, and coordinate the solution and correction of operational EMC problems with the USACESO, and when neces- sary, the JSC. (2) Assist the Army Spectrum Manager and the Army command- ers in resolving operational EMC problems by providing technical assistance in spectrum engineering, propagation services, and the electromagnetic environment using both on- and off-site personnel and facilities. (3) Conduct Electromagnetic Radiation Hazard (EMRH) surveys at conventional and special munitions storage and handling sites/ areas for all levels of command.
(4) At the direction of the Army Spectrum Manager, and in coordination with the JSC Army Director and the CG, TRADOC, develop, manage, and operate EMC assurance training programs. c. Provide a Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) for EMC assur- ance capable of responding to field missions immediately and pro- viding an EMC team on-site within 24 to 72 hours to resolve interference problems. Required resource planning data will be coor- dinated with the USACESO. d. Provide EMC engineering and analysis support to eliminate potential EMC/EMI problems for planned system upgrades, modifi- cations, or new C-E system installations. e.
Provide radio wave propagation technical services to the Army and to other military services and Federal agencies as resources permit. Perform radio wave propagation path surveys, analyze radio frequency (RF) system performance, and design and analyze anten- nas. The results of the technical services (e.g., surveys, analyses, e t c . ) w i l l b e f o r w a r d e d t o t h e U S A C E S O a n d t h e J S C A r m y Director. f. Plan, program, budget, and provide resources for executing assigned spectrum management, EMC assurance, and EMC testing and evaluation responsibilities per this regulation. g .

US Army Test and Evaluation Command (USATECOM) Services for the EMCP a. USATECOM has the responsibility to provide a variety of EMC, EMV, database services and spectrum management process support to developers of Army electromagnetic spectrum-dependent equipment. These services are provided through the operation of the following subordinate elements located at the Electronic Proving Ground (EPG):
the Battlefield Electromagnetic Environments Office (BEEO), Electromagnetic Environmental Test Facility (EMETF), and the EMI/TEMPEST branch. b. The BEEO will— (1) Support the Army EMCP through development, operation, and maintenance of databases for C-E compatibility and vulnerabil- ity analyses and concept studies. 3–6. JSC Services for the EMCP a. As defined by DoD Directive 3222.3 and DoD Regulation 5000.2-R, the JSC is a Joint services activity that provides fre- quency spectrum engineering and EMC analysis support to all DoD components developing or operating telecommunications equipment. b.
Army components, as well as the joint services, have access to databases that contain electromagnetic environmental, electro-opti- cal, equipment electromagnetic characteristics, frequency assignment and use, space systems orbital, tactical deployment, and topographi- cal data. The JSC has the responsibility to maintain the frequency resource file for the DoD. c. The JSC has both automated and manual EMC models ranging from antenna and propagation models to terminal-device-perform- ance models.
