Space-Based Spectrum Operations & Electromagnetic Defense (SPO-ED) Fundamentals
"Space-Based Spectrum Operations & Electromagnetic Defense (SPO-ED) Fundamentals" focuses on managing and defending spectrum assets in contested space domains. Participants learn offensive and defensive electromagnetic tactics, spectrum situational awareness, and deconfliction. Cybersecurity intersects as spectrum systems are vulnerable to command spoofing, signal jamming, and cyber-physical crossover threats. The course reinforces how to implement secure spectrum access protocols and monitor anomalies in real time.
