FOREWORD

1.   This military standard is approved for use by  all departments and agencies of the Department of

Defense.

2.   This standard covers the interface r equirements necessary to ensure control of the electromagnetic emission and susceptibility characteristics of military radar equipment   and systems operating in all intended electromagnetic environments (EMEs).  The engineering interface cha  racteristics set forth in this document are   considered   necessary   for   electromagnetic   (EM)   spectrum   conservation   and   electromagneti  c compatibility (EMC).

3.   The expanding application of radar for various military functions and purposes places increase  d demands upon the occupancy of the electromagnetic spectrum.  Control of the electromagnetic emission and susceptibility characteristics of radar equipment and syst ems is essential for conserving the limited EM spectrum that is available.

4.   The  interface  requirements  stated  herein  are  not  intended  to  prohibit  or  inhibit  the  free  an  d unrestricted research in the development of new  radar systems which promise an increase in effectiveness. The minimum interface requirements given herein satisfy the Radar Spectrum E  ngineering Criteria; Section

5.3 in the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management. The NTIA standards are approved for use by agencies and establishments of  the Federal Government and constitute the minimum acceptable standards for electromagnetic spectrum management. Interface requireme nts more stringent than the NTIA standards are provided herein for radar equipment and systems that operate in critical EMEs. When these situations exist, the intent of the requirements shall be applied with  best engineering judgement and with the approval of the contracting activity.

5.   Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should  be addressed to: Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, SEA  03R42,  2531  Jefferson  Davis  Highway,  Arlington,  VA  22242-5160  by  using  the  self-addresse  d Standardization Document Improvement  Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.
