  1. MID RPS for WRC-12 preparation Preparations for WRC-12WRC -12 AGENDA ITEM 1.3 ON UAS Presented by John Taylor Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  2. UAS • Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) consists of Unmanned Aircraft (UA) and associated Control Stations. Unmanned aircraft are powered, aerial vehicles that do not carry a human pilot, use aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, and may fly autonomously or be piloted remotely Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  3. Two groups of UAS applications, anticipated fields of operationexamples for each mission type UASAPPLICATIONS Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  4. UAS operations have been limited to segregated (restricted airspace) Advancements in design and technology Expanding deployment in a variety of roles More favorable in repetitive, routine, long duration operations Requirement for safe integration into non-segregated (non-restricted) airspace Integration into the Air Traffic Control system AIRSPACE ISSUES Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  5. Integration into Air Traffic Control system and national airspace Operation in civil airspace with other air traffic Operation must be transparent to all other users as if UAS were a manned aircraft Requirement for communication links with UAS Three main types of communication links Command and Control link Relay of Air Traffic Control communications Relay of Sense and Avoid communications Communication links Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  6. Seamless integration of UAS in civil airspace Requirement for maintaining safety of flight Requirement for short range line of sight communications Requirement for beyond line of sight communications The two types of communication requirements have a profound effect on the amount spectrum needed Hence WRC-07 placed and agenda item on the next WRC-12 to identify spectrum for UAS Communication Links Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  7. to consider spectrum requirements and possible regulatory actions, including allocations, in order to support the safe operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), based on the results of ITU‑R studies, in accordance with Resolution 421 (WRC‑07 WRC-Agenda Item 1.3 Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  8. to conduct in time for WRC‑12 the necessary studies leading to technical, regulatory and operational recommendations to the Conference, enabling that Conference to decide on appropriate allocations for the operation of UAS that the studies referred to in invites ITU‑R 1 should include sharing and compatibility studies with services already having allocations in those bands to produce a report or a recommendation, as appropriate, on how to accommodate the radiocommunication requirements for UAS payloads WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3Resolution 421 Invites ITU-R Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  9. ISSUES What are the technical characteristics What are the protection requirements How much spectrum will be required Identification of current allocations that can accommodate UAS Identification of additional frequency allocations if required Ensuring compatibility with existing radiocommunication services What possible regulatory actions will be required by the Conference WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3Spectrum requirements and possible regulatory actions, including allocations, for safe operation of UAS Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  18. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3ICAO POSITION ON 1.3 To support, based on the results of studies identified in Resolution 421, any modification to existing allocations, or new allocations required to accommodate UAS operations in non-segregated airspace while maintaining the safety and regularity of flight of all types of aircraft. Accordingly, to ensure that allocations used, in particular, for UAS command and control, ATC relay and sense and avoid in non-segregated airspace are in the AM(R)S, AMS(R)S and/or ARNS and do not adversely affect existing aeronautical systems To oppose the use of this agenda item to seek new spectrum allocations to meet payload requirements. Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  19. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 CEPT CITEL APG ASMG ATU RCC Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  20. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3 REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 CEPT POSITION To support modifications to existing allocations as appropriate to accommodate UAS Command and control/ Sense and Avoid systems needed to maintain the safety and expeditious use of airspace. To oppose the allocation of spectrum for payload purposes under this agenda item Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  21. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3 REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 CITEL POSITION Support ITU‐R studies related to this agenda item, particularly on the amount of spectrum needed, frequency bands and compatibility with incumbent services. Supported by US, Canada and Brazil. Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  22. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3 REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 APG POSITION The current studies being carried out by ITU-R in WP 5B are supported. Allocations to AM(R)S, AMS(R)S and/or ARNS, in order to satisfy spectrum needs for UAS applications, are supported, preferably from existing aeronautical safety allocations. Compatibility with existing services, in particular ICAO standards based systems such as MLS, needs to be ensured. Due to the safety nature of UAS, regulatory provisions associated with the allocation need to be clear, unconditional and implement able in practice. AI 1.3 should be confined to safety communications and not payload Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  23. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3 REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 ASMG POSITION To follow studies in WP 5B Focus study on limited use of AMS(R)S and AMS for these applications If other bands are proposed, then ensure no impact to existing services in these bands. Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  24. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3 REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 ATU POSITION Position is unknown at this time Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010

  25. WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.3 REGIONAL POSITIONS ON 1.3 RCC POSITION Supports allocation in AM(RS, AMS(R)S and ARNS bands for UAS the RCC CAs do not support additional spectrum allocations for these services. Does not support UAS in 960-1164 MHz, 1525-1559 MHz, 1610-1660 MHz, 5030-5091 MHz and 15.4-15.7 GHz. Cairo 19-20 Sept 2010
