ABSTRACT
With the ever increasing complexity of the Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) environment comes the need for higher fidelity EMS management. We explore the complexity of EMS management, the information (and missing information) for high fidelity engineering and what is needed into the future to support the Defence EMS domain from Concepts and Needs to EMS Operations including examples of high fidelity EMS management.
BIOGRAPHY
Glenn has 25 years experience in the radiofrequency engineering design and spectrum management industry with extensive experience in microwave and cellular design, spectrum management and engineering and regulatory engagements. Glenn has represented Australia in the International Telecommunications Union and the Asia Pacific Telecommunity as Head of Delegation and a Delegate over a 16-year period both while employed with the national regulator (ACMA) and the Department of Defence. Glenn is the current Australian Radiocommunications Study Group 5 chair for Terrestrial services and chairs agenda items at the Asia Pacific Telecommunity Preparity Group for the current World Radio Conference study cycle. In his previous role spanning over 14 years as the Principal Engineer of the Spectrum Planning and Engineering section within the Defence Spectrum Office attached to the Department of Defence, Glenn has led a team of radiocommunication engineers managing the use of Electromagnetic Spectrum (EMS) for whole of Defence. The scope of this work spans from procurement support, research and development through to domestic operational support. Glenn represented Defence in bilateral and multi-lateral spectrum working groups involving other militaries including the five-eyes Combined Communications and Electronics Board (CCEB). Glenn is currently working as a Principal EMS Engineer developing the EMS Engineering capability within Nova Systems. Glenn holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communications as well as a Master of Systems Engineering specialising in Electronic Warfare.
