**************************************************************************
NOTE: OPNAV INSTRUCTION 2410.11H requires that
funds shall not be obligated for the procurement of
radio equipment until frequency allocation authority
has been obtained. As soon as possible, but no
later than Schematic Design, the designer shall
contact the Area Radio Frequency Coordinator
(usually the base Communications Officer) to
determine the availability of radio frequencies and
to ensure that the using activity submits a DD Form
1494, APPLICATION FOR FREQUENCY ALLOCATION, for a
Stage 1 ("Conceptual Development") allocation (See
DD Form 1494 Preparation Guide). Stage 1 allocation
authority (i.e. approval) must be obtained prior to
advertisement of the contract.
In order to avoid potential contract delays, the
frequency assignment should be included in the
specification when possible. In some cases it may
be necessary or desirable for the designer to
perform a frequency intermodulation analyses or set
up radio monitoring and recording equipment on the
proposed frequency to verify that the frequency is
free from interference.
For additional information, contact the facility
Communications Officer or the Naval Electronics
