The NATO F band is the obsolete designation given to the radio frequencies from 3 000 to 4 000 MHz (equivalent to wavelengths between 10 and 7.5 cm) during the cold war period. Since 1992 frequency allocations, allotment and assignments are in line to NATO Joint Civil/Military Frequency Agreement (NJFA).^[1] However, in order to identify military radio spectrum requirements, e.g. for crises management planning, training, Electromagnetic Warfare (EW) activities, or in military operations, this system is still in use.
