The NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement (short: NJFA) document constitutes the joint agreement between the civil and military authorities of the NATO nations on the use of the radio spectrum for military purposes required by NATO forces or in support of NATO.〔NATO UNCLASSIFIED PO/82/9, date 15 June 1982, first addition of the ''NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement'' (NJFA).〕 ==General== 1. The decisions promulgated in the NJFA were firstly agreed in 1982 and modified subsequently up to the present time, following the International Telecommunication Union (lTU) World Radiocommunication Conferences (WRC). The actual addition of the agreement takes into account all Final Acts of ITU WRCs, the new NATO strategy and the spectrum investigations by national and regional radiocommunication authorities. The extended military requirements and the conditions of spectrum use during states of emergency and in times of crisis or war are reflected in a supplement to the reference document. 2. Provisions of this agreement apply throughout the territory of NATO nations in ITU Region 1. However, it should be taken into account that many requirements (naval, naval radar, aeronautical, radio-navigation and satellite requirements) apply to all NATO nations. Military requirements which apply to the NATO operational areas in ITU Region 2 are also identified. 3. In order to improve harmonisation in spectrum utilisation for military operation throughout Europe, the majority of service-allocations and harmonised NATO bands stipulated in this document were incorporated in the European Table of Frequency Allocations and Utilisations which is within the responsibility of the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) of the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT). In view of the developing frequency harmonisation process, in support of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) policies and in particular with a view to combined military operations of NATO and Partners, it is highly desirable that the provisions of this agreement be extended beyond the European NATO nations. 4. The military use of the frequency spectrum is based on the provisions of the ITU Radio Regulations (RR). However, the necessary mobility of NATO forces requires flexibility of use of the radio frequency spectrum. This exceptional case is provided for in the ITU Constitution Article 48 and Radio Regulation S4.4. 5. This agreement sets out military spectrum requirements which NATO nations agree to accept by reflecting such needs in national allocation tables, to the maximum extent possible. It is recognised that in some national allocation tables, sub-division between military and civil is replaced by sub-division between Government and non-Government users. It includes both NATO requirements and national military requirements in support of NATO for spectrum access. In addition, in order to satisfy the requirement for mobility and interoperability of forces, and to improve commonality in spectrum utilisation for military operations and efficiency in border areas, it designates harmonised NATO bands for military use throughout NATO Europe. 6. Frequency requirements based on the bands identified in the agreement may, in certain cases, become the subject of bilateral arrangements between nations and guest forces having regard for the sovereign rights of the Allied nations in determining specific use of the frequency spectrum. This document provides guidance for future equipment development, subject to coordination between the host country and guest forces or NATO Commands involved in accordance with existing frequency supportability and coordination procedures. 7. Spectrum resources are to be used in conjunction with the terms of the ITU Constitution, Convention and Radio Regulations and in accordance with national allocation tables. When specific military requirements cannot be complied with by using provisions of this NATO document, military requirements may be satisfied nationally in civil bands or allocations which are not listed in this document. Similar agreement may be reached for peacetime, regarding civil requirements to be accommodated in military bands or allocations. The agreements referred to above are subject to favourable technical coordination. Military usage, in bands where there is civil usage, will be in accordance with the ITU Radio Regulations. 8. Coordination between all radio services operating in a band shall be carried out in accordance with the appropriate provisions of the ITU Radio Regulations, relevant agreements and the procedures of the NATO Frequency Management Subcommittee (NATO FMSC). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
