In order to maintain superiority in the electromagnetic spectrum domain, the US military is vigorously developing its electromagnetic spectrum operational capability. The research and development focuses of key technologies are introduced in this article, with an emphasis on frequency spectrum agility technology, energy clustering technology and adaptive technology. The equipment construction direction is analyzed, targeting at miniature, networked, underwater-launched and cognitively controlled devices. Different features of operational methods are illustrated in terms of applications in different phases of future real combat, including intelligence reconnaissance, force maneuver and air attack included.
