Location:
Off-site

Security Clearance:
NATO Secret

Reference No:
2021-0022 / Off-site

Skills, knowledge, experience required:

• Expert knowledge and proven experience in authoring studies and analyses addressing electromagnetic compatibility in both civil and military environments (e.g., compatibility, sharing and interference analyses and studies);
• Expert knowledge in RF propagation, interference, electromagnetic compatibility, radio systems planning and engineering covering the radio spectrum between UHF and EHF frequency bands;
• Knowledge of military C4ISR systems using radio spectrum;
• Knowledge of RF spectrum management concepts, techniques, tools and policies;
• Experience in writing technical reports and articles;
• Experience in developing use cases, requirements and architectures;
• Analytical skills to assess and describe complex problems with multiple variables and develop concepts and solutions;
• Communication skills to develop and present studies in the area of coexistence and compatibility of radio systems, and to communicate them to both expert and non-expert audiences;
• Excellent writing skills to produce high-quality reports and deliverables, including presentation of results at meetings.

Desirable:

• Knowledge of spectrum engineering tools;
• Knowledge and experience in Spectrum Policy in international forums (e.g., NATO, ITU, CEPT, etc.).

Duties/role:

• Formulating a problem statement and agreeing study requirements with the requestor.
• Collecting background information on the use of the 26 GHz band in both civil (IMT and non-IMT services) and military systems, including ongoing discussions for WRC-23 and in spectrum policy discussion forums;
• Engaging with the different military communities of interest (spectrum managers, ISR communities, communications communities, etc.), to identify future military usage of the 26 GHz band;
• Providing a standalone description of the way NATO and nations develop a coordinated policy for the conditions of use of RF spectrum in coordination with the spectrum management authorities at the different international forums;
• Providing a description of the typical use of 26 GHz systems, with example application scenarios and nominal protection criteria or conditions of shared use currently applied in the civil and military domain (if applicable);
• Providing an overview of the expected future use of 26 GHz systems by military users, defining services and applications, typical usage scenarios, and interference risks with external systems;
• Developing potential coexistence scenarios between IMT and (previously identified) military systems operating in the 26 GHz band supported by initial interference analyses;
• Developing a list of recommendations for NATO Spectrum Policy related to the military use of the 26 GHz band on: potential use, sharing conditions (including protection criteria if needed), WRC-23 agenda items, and follow-on work;
• Reporting progress to CaP3 of the C3 Board Substructure and providing final report containing all of the above items;
• Organizing and providing support to 3 meetings or workshops for the presentation and discussion of results and findings at NATO locations in Brussels or The Hague.
