Radio Frequencies: Earlier Coordination Could Improve System Use and Save Costs

摘要

The report reviews the Department of Defense's (DOD's) efforts to coordinate the use of radio frequencies with European nations for command, control, and communication systems. It reports that delays and unnecessary cost resulted when DOD did not coordinate with host nations early in the development of communication systems to ensure that the frequencies selected would be approved. In a separate and broader review of communications in the Pacific theater, a similar situation was found.
