E2.1.14. Information System (IS). The entire infrastructure, organization,
personnel, and components used to collect, process, store, transmit, display, disseminate,
and dispose of information.
E2.1.15. Information Technology
(IT). Any equipment or interconnected system or
subsystem of equipment that is used in the automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation,
management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or
reception of data or information by the Executive Agency. This includes equipment used
by a DoD Component directly or used by a contractor under a contract with the DoD
Component that:
E2.1.15.1. Requires the use of such equipment; or
E2.1.15.2. Requires the use, to a significant extent, of such equipment in the
performance of a service or the furnishing of a product. The term also includes
computers, ancillary equipment, software, firmware and similar procedures, services
(including support services), and related resources. Notwithstanding the above, the term
does not include any equipment that is acquired by a Federal contractor incidental to a
Federal contract (reference (a)).
E2.1.16. Mobile Code
. Software modules obtained from remote systems,
transferred across a network, and then downloaded and executed on local systems
without explicit installation or execution by the recipient.
E2.1.17. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). A generic term for a class of small,
easily carried electronic devices used to store and retrieve information.
E2.1.18. Portable Electronic Device (PED). Any non-stationary electronic
apparatus with the capability of recording, storing, and/or transmitting information. This
definition includes, but is not limited to PDAs, cellular/PCS phones, two-way pagers, e-
mail devices, audio/video recording devices, and hand-held/laptop computers.
E2.1.19. Sensitive Compartmented Information
(SCI). Classified information
concerning or derived from intelligence sources, methods, or analytical processes, which
is required to be handled within formal access control systems established by the Director
of Central Intelligence.
E2.1.20. Spectrum Supportability. The assessment as to whether the
electromagnetic spectrum necessary to support the operation of spectrum-dependent
equipment or a spectrum-dependent system during its expected life cycle is, or will be,
available (that is, from system development, through development and operational
testing, to actual operation in the electromagnetic environment). The assessment of
"spectrum supportability" is based upon, at a minimum, receipt of equipment spectrum
certification, reasonable assurance of the availability of sufficient frequencies for
operation, and consideration of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
