DoD’s Own Bureaucracy Top Barrier To Winning Spectrum Back
America's inability to progress beyond "Cold War capabilities" in this "most important environment to modern warfare" follows three EMS strategies over eight years. "They weren't bad strategies," experts agreed, but DoD simply failed to fully implement them. Now GAO is warning the latest strategy, just months old, may face the same fate.

WASHINGTON: The Defense Department’s bureaucracy is the main barrier to implementing much-needed capabilities advancement in the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS), even as adversaries “aggressively pursue†their own.
“The consequences of getting this wrong could be disastrous,†HASC Subcommittee Ranking Member Rep. Elise Stefanik observed.
The failure to advance beyond “Cold War capabilities†has occurred despite three comprehensive DoD EMS strategies developed over the past eight years. The latest strategy, finished just months ago, might face the same fate amid DoD bureaucratic morass unless something changes, warned the Government Accountability Office.
