SMART CAT

Spectrum Management Assessment Rapid Toolkit  ·  Concise Automation Terminal
Spectrum Coordination Automation Platform
Your Resource for Concise Spectrum Automation.

SMART CAT is a purpose-built platform for electromagnetic spectrum coordination (DD-1494 certification prep, cited regulatory answers, and same-source monitoring), built for how DoD and commercial spectrum professionals actually work. The process, the regulations, and the expertise are real; the tooling hasn't caught up. SMART CAT closes that gap: fast, and accurate, with every answer grounded in the source text.

Where SMART CAT Fits

Spectrum XXI handles frequency records, but DD-1494 automation, compliance checks, link budgets, and filing notifications still require manual effort, and manual effort means manual errors. One missing field bounces a package; one missed FCC order makes a filing wrong before it's read.

SMART CAT validates every field against the actual requirements before you submit, answers any spectrum question with a citation you can verify, and alerts you the day the rules change, guiding both the spectrum manager and the vendor to the right package the first time.

Benefits

  • First submission is the right one: validate against the same checks the government tool runs.
  • Every answer cited to the actual NTIA / 47 CFR / ITU text, not generic AI.
  • Know before you file: severity-tiered, deadline-tracked regulatory alerts.
  • Ephemeral by design: validation runs in your browser; your documents are never uploaded.
  • UNCLASSIFIED-only, enforced: classification markings blocked at the door.

Capabilities & Specifications

Platform Capabilities

  • DD-1494: Build, Edit & Validate In Dev
    Build and edit DD-1494 packages, then validate against the same checks the government's compliance tool runs; every finding cited to its rule, with the exact value that clears each error. Works natively with SSRF (the toolchain's XML exchange format).
  • Regulatory AI Terminal Beta
    Ask any spectrum question in plain text, or drop in a screenshot. Every answer grounded in cited primary sources, quoted from the current edition.
  • Regulatory Alerts Live
    Severity-tiered, deadline-tracked, every alert cited to its primary source. Filter by branch, commercial space, or auctions.
  • Community Forum Live
    Spectrum professionals comparing notes: DD-1494s, SFAF/SSRF, coordination. Free to read at community.smartcathq.com; sign in free to post.
  • Submission Scoring In Dev
    Stage-aware completeness scoring against NTIA requirements; every gap cited, fix-or-justify for each finding.
  • SFAF: Build, Edit & Validate Planned
    Create, edit, and validate SFAF frequency-action records built to pass the mandated submission systems.
  • Link Budgets Planned
    ITU-R P.618 / P.530 / P.676 propagation, PFD limits, EIRP, and rain-attenuation: regulatory parameters built in.

Standards & Coverage

  • DD-1494 Stages 1 to 4 · J/F-12
  • SFAF (MCEB Pub 7) · SSRF (MC4EB Pub 8, XML)
  • SSRA · DoDI 4650.01 supportability
  • NTIA Manual Ch. 10 (Redbook)
  • 47 CFR · FCC ULS / IBFS
  • ITU Radio Regulations & ITU-R
  • Host-Nation Coordination · EL-CID
  • Commercial space · spectrum auctions

How It Works

  1. Ask or check: a question, or a package. Validation runs in your browser; documents are never uploaded.
  2. Validate against CFR / DoDI / ITU / NTIA with citation-level specificity.
  3. Score: gaps flagged, risks surfaced, each with a fix-or-justify path.
  4. Submit with confidence, the first submission is the right one.

Security & Trust

  • Cited, verifiable answers: you check the citation, not us.
  • Ephemeral by design: validation runs entirely in your browser; your documents are never uploaded.
  • UNCLASSIFIED-only, enforced: classification markings are detected and blocked; SMART CAT deliberately refuses CUI and classified data.
  • Grounded in primary sources: NTIA / 47 CFR / ITU / DoDI, quoted from the current edition.
  • Standards-transparent validation: the DD-1494 validator is grounded in OpenSSRF, the DISA-certified open-source SSRF reference (MCEB Pub 8), every check verifiable against the public standard, no black box.
  • Domain-built cited-answer AI, not generic.
