DI-EMCS-81543, DATA ITEM DESCRIPTION: SPECTRUM SUPPORTABILITY RISK ASSESSMENT (SSRA) (20-JAN-2012)., This DID contains the format and content preparation instructions for data resulting from a solicitation for the preparation of an SSRA. It is intended for S-D systems and equipment, including commercial items (CIs) and non-developmental items (NDIs) that are S-D, employed on airborne, sea, space, and ground platforms and systems. a. An SSRA is an assessment performed by program managers (PMs) and materiel developers (MATDEVs) on all programs that are acquiring or incorporating spectrum-dependent (S-D) systems or equipment. Its purpose is to identify and assess an acquisition�s potential to affect the required performance of the newly acquired system or other existing systems within the operational electromagnetic environment (EME). This assessment will be accomplished with due consideration given to potential regulatory, technical, and operational spectrum and electromagnetic (EM) environmental effects (E3) risks.
