Hardware/Software Requirements
Link 16 Pulse Deconfliction
Requirement
• US Frequency Clearance Agreement (FCA) *
 Requires that DoD manage Time Slot Duty Factor
(TSDF) in a geographic area
 100% in 100Nm
 400% in 200Nm
 Policy for Link 16 Pulse Deconfliction is documented in Chairman
of the Joint Chief of Staff Instruction (CJCSI) 6232.01 “Link 16
Spectrum Deconfliction”
•Link 16 Pulse Deconfliction Server (LPDS)
- Tool used to ensure Link 16 operations are compliant
with geographic area limits defined in FCA
* Also known as Certification of Spectrum Support
Link 16 Deconfliction Compliance
Process
•Authorized users schedule
events/operations in LPDS
• LPDS calculates total TSDF
scheduled and determines if
compliant with geographic
area limits.
If compliant, operation is
scheduled
If not compliant, user must
initiate a temporary frequency
assignment (TFA) and operation
is entered as pending
 Navy and Marine Corps
Spectrum Center (NMSC) and FAA
must provide an approved TFA for
operation to be scheduled
Link 16 Pulse Deconfliction Server
(LPDS)
• Supports the deconfliction process.
• LPDS Software under configuration
management:
 Integrated Product Team (IPT)
Configuration Control Board (CCB)
Current software version is V1.1
• Web-based tool that provides TSDF compliance
verification
 Calculates TSDF of scheduled events/operations in
pre-defined Joint Operating Areas (JOAs)
Joint Operating Areas
•Distinct Geographic Area
4 Point Areas
Single Point Areas
Overlap Allowed
•Event Scheduling
“Into” JOAs
TSDF calculations
- Within JOA
- Adjacent JOAs
•Buffer Zones
“Adjacent JOAs”
100Nm
200Nm
•JOA Management
Defining new JOAs
- Requires up to 4 points
- Re-run Buffer Zone Check
Google Earth Demo

Scheduling of events/operations
JOA TSDF calculations
Supports the TFA process
Provides E-mail notifications
Reporting capabilities
Restricted Access/Role Based
LPDS Capabilities
(Scheduling and TSDF Calculations)
•Four Step Scheduling Wizard
1. Select JOA & Time Frame
2. Determine Current TSDF
Levels
3. Input Event Details
4. Accept TFA Responsibility
(If Required)
• Calculations Performed
–TSDF Levels in JOA and
Buffer Zones
–Contention Check
–TSDF Available
–Existing TFA Check
•Traceability
–User Info For Each Event
–Acceptance of
Responsibility for TFA Events
LPDS Capabilities (TFAs)
•Deconfliction Opportunities
–Identifies Need to Review
Planned Operations
–Provides TSDF Overage
Details
•Schedule All Events
–Allow “Pending” Events
to be Scheduled
•External Process
–Coordination of Multiple
Groups
–Increase Awareness
•Timely Updates
–TFA Required Notification
–30 Day Warning
–15 Day Warning
–Approval Notification
LPDS Capabilities
(Email Notifications)
•Automated Email Notifications
– Event is submitted that
requires a TFA
– Event requiring a TFA is
30 days away
– Event requiring a TFA is
15 days away
– A TFA has been approved
– A TFA has been denied
LPDS Capabilities (Reporting)
There are a number of reports
available to all users:
• Current Ops
• Specific Area
• Specific Area 200Nm
• Network/Crypto
• Specific Dates
• Organization
• POC
• Serial Number
• Buffer Zones
• Buffer Zones 200Nm
• FAA Authorizations
• Composite
• Composite 200Nm
An added side benefit is that opportunities for
training can be determined from the list of
scheduled operations within close proximity.
LPDS Capabilities (Roles)
•The LPDS provides access and capabilities based on predefined
roles and views.
–LPDS Administrator
•Approves users
•Assigns roles
•Manages FAA* approved TFA notifications
•Posts TFAs to the website
–Deconfliction Coordinator
•Schedules Events
•Deletes Events
•Modifies Events
•View reports
–Read-Only
•View reports
* FAA: Federal Aviation Administration
