Department of Defense (DoD) test ranges have expanding needs for air-to-ground telemetry bandwidth and are under pressure to manage the spectrum resource efficiently. The test and evaluation (T&E) community needs tools to address the challenges of: spectrum defense (of potential commercial sell-offs), and spectrum usage efficiency. The Spectrum Usage Measurement System (SUMS) tracks the real-time usage of spectrum over-the-air. The SUMS repository provides data and analytics that will inform the future management and allocation of spectrum. The Spectrum Access Manager (SAM) is a set of features designed to expand the deconfliction capabilities of the currently-deployed Integrated Frequency Deconfliction System (IFDS). Advanced features provided by the SAM library will dramatically increase frequency reuse, reduce fragmentation of the allocated spectrum, and support inter-range collaborative frequency deconfliction. The SUMS / SAM Field Trial is planned to start at Edwards Air Force Base in August 2022. This paper presents the results of the Trial, and lessons learned.Type
