The Air Force Spectrum Management Office (AFSMO) plans, provides, and preserves access to the electromagnetic spectrum for Air Force and selected Department of Defense activities in support of national policy objectives, systems development, and global operations:
- Develops and implements spectrum guidelines and instructions to support the Air Force mission.
- Coordinates actions to resolve spectrum interference incidents involving DoD, private sector, and federal users.
- Represents, advocates, and defends Air Force interests in spectrum management matters on DoD, national and international forums.
- Accesses satellites internationally.
- Obtains certification and frequency licenses to operate satellites, land mobile radios, emergency radio systems (air-to-ground and air-to-air), radars, weapon guidance systems, and all capabilities that are spectrum-dependent.

In 2020 AFSMO was realigned and integrated into the Headquarters Air Force Staff under the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Cyber Effects Operations (A2/6).[2]
