Chapter 3—Affected EnvironmentCommunications–Electronics Non-frequency Related Interference. Theout-of-b<strong>and</strong> electromagnetic environment (within 30 kilometers [19miles]) at Remote Sprint Launch Site 1 included 198 ground-basedsystems. The majority of the systems (184 systems) are l<strong>and</strong>-mobileUHF <strong>and</strong> VHF radios. Also included are five satellite communicationssystems, one fixed broadcasting satellite, <strong>and</strong> eight pager/cellular phonetowers. Although no airborne systems are registered with the NTIA orFCC for this area, it is anticipated that various avionics equipment(tactical air navigation, IFF systems, glideslopes, beacons, etc.) will bepresent as aircraft travel in <strong>and</strong> out of the area.Radiation Hazards. Based upon the absence of high-power emitterswithin a 30-kilometer (19-mile) radius of Remote Sprint Launch Site 1,the existing electromagnetic environment does not present substantiallevels of radiation hazards to personnel, electroexplosive devices, orfuels.3.8.2.5 Remote Sprint Launch Site 2—Health <strong>and</strong> SafetyThis section describes the health <strong>and</strong> safety concerns for the affectedbase property at Remote Sprint Launch Site 2 <strong>and</strong> the surrounding area.The ROI for health <strong>and</strong> safety includes the base <strong>and</strong> adjacent public thatcould be affected by the deployment of an XBR. The ROI for EMR humanhealth effects is the base <strong>and</strong> adjacent property. This ROI is based onthe area where potential effects to human health are expected to occur(out to 150 meters [492 feet]). The ROI for certain electronic equipment<strong>and</strong> aircraft (see below) includes an area up to 350 kilometers (217miles). For a general description of the health <strong>and</strong> safety resource area,see section 3.8.On-base SafetyOn-base safety for Remote Sprint Launch Site 2 is similar to thatdescribed for Remote Sprint Launch Site 1.Electromagnetic Radiation EnvironmentFor purposes of this study, the electromagnetic environment aroundRemote Sprint Launch Site 2 includes all ground-based systems within a30-kilometer (19-mile) radius for out-of-b<strong>and</strong> systems <strong>and</strong> within a 350-kilometer (217-mile) radius for in-b<strong>and</strong>, adjacent b<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> harmonicallyrelatedb<strong>and</strong>s. The communications-electronics environment aroundRemote Sprint Launch Site 2 was found to include 152 systems rangingin frequencies from 31 to 24,150 megahertz. The distribution of thesesystems over the electromagnetic spectrum, VHF–K-B<strong>and</strong>, is shown insection 3.8.2.1, figure 3.8-9. These systems were categorized intopotential victims of frequency-related interference or non-frequencyrelated interference.NMD Deployment Final EIS 3-255
