DI-EMCS-81543 Revision A:2013

Includes the format and content preparation instructions for data resulting from a solicitation for the preparation of an SSRA. Planned for S-D systems and equipment, including commercial items (CIs) and non-developmental items (NDIs) that are S-D, employed on airborne, sea, space, and ground platforms and systems.

An SSRA is an assessment performed by program managers (PMs) and materiel developers (MATDEVs), which include concept developers, on all programs that are acquiring, developing, incorporating, or modifying spectrum-dependent (S-D) systems (SDS). Its purpose is to identify and assess an acquisition\'s potential to affect the required performance of the newly acquired SDS and other existing systems that may co-exist within the operational electromagnetic environment (EME). Each assessment will be accomplished with due consideration given to potential regulatory, technical, and operational spectrum and electromagnetic (EM) environmental effects (E3) issues. All identified risks must be included in the assessment including relevant mitigation information.
