System, method, and apparatus for providing dynamic, prioritized spectrum management and utilization

A system for dynamic, prioritized spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

• at least one monitoring sensor operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment and create measured data based on the electromagnetic environment;
• at least one data analysis engine for analyzing the measured data;
• at least one application;
• a semantic engine including a programmable rules and policy editor;
• and
• a tip and cue server;
• wherein the at least one data analysis engine includes a detection engine, an identification engine, a classification engine, a geolocation engine, and a learning engine, wherein the detection engine is operable to automatically detect at least one signal of interest, and wherein the learning engine is operable to learn the electromagnetic environment;
• wherein the at least one application includes a resource brokerage application, wherein the resource brokerage application is operable to optimize resources to improve performance of at least one customer application and/or at least one customer device;
• wherein the programmable rules and policy editor includes at least one rule and/or at least one policy;
• wherein the tip and cue server is operable to use analyzed data from the at least one data analysis engine to create actionable data;
• wherein each of the at least one customer application is assigned a priority;
• and
• wherein the priority and one or more of the at least one rule and/or the at least one policy are used to dynamically allocate at least one frequency band in the electromagnetic spectrum.
