The Billion Dollar Problem

The U.S. Army regularly faces spectrum denial during overseas training exercises due to outdated, manual frequency request systems. These missions are high-stakes: the average exercise costs $15 million, while more complex operations can exceed $60 million and require years of planning. These exercises simulate real-world crises with actors, news simulation feeds, tanks, drones, and other combat-ready equipment. Yet despite the preparation, missions are sometimes canceled or placed in auto-fail conditions due to unresolved frequency conflicts. We estimate that such cancellations cost the Department of Defense over $1 billion globally. Currently, no easy-to-use, centralized platform exists to track spectrum activity. Soldiers lack the transparency and visibility needed to prevent these conflicts from occurring.
