Air4All Frequency Group

Study on military spectrum allocations required for the Insertion into the GAT of the UAS

ESA-EDA Workshop

Noordwijk, May 27th & 28th, 2009

Presented by Jean-Louis Roch, Thales Aerospace

Frequency Group SIGATObjectives and content

• Study the military frequency spectrum allocations required for the insertion into the GAT of the UAS

• Identify an appropriate spectrum for the integration of UAS in non-segregated airspace, in connection with Air4All conclusions on UAS insertion into GAT

• Define and promote European interests and positions in WRC preparation• Final outcomes :

To provide inputs to WRC-11 European preparation To provide contributions in support to CEPT and ITU-R processes To support the European position regarding regulation and operational

requirements To provide supporting information to the European Delegations To identify other UAS related issues, in view of WRC-15 (such as P/L, Mission D/L

and ATOL spectrum requirements)

• Other considerations Definition of operational scenarios Optimisation of spectrum resource

Frequency Group SIGATAir4All Frequency Group Consortium

• Large Consortium from European Industry, connected with Research 16 co-contractorsn Thales Aerospace lead 7 sub-contractors Representing 9 European Nations

• Experts in : Radio Spectrum Regulation Radio Spectrum Technologies UAS Radio Frequency technologies in DL, Payloads, S&A, ATC, ... UAS System Architecture Safety and Certification UAS insertion in General Air Traffic UAS Platform integration and operation

• Key Points of Contact with : ITU-R Regulation Meetings : CEPT EUROCAE, RTCA, ICAO NATO National Defence and Civil Aviation delegation


• The ITU assembly where Member States agree on evolutions of the Radio Regulations

• Schedule is key• WRC are every 4 years• One WRC determines next WRC agenda items• Time between WRC is for ITU study groups to

develop proposals for solutions

• Negotiation is key• 1 voting right per State• Regional positions & Influent organizations• Worldwide consensus building• State to state package deals

Strict organization, long haul debates

• WRC-07:

• 150 countries• 2500 delegates• 4 weeks• 25 items for WRC-11

phases:• Take-off / Landing• Transit• Mission

• Bandwidth need vs ITU statement• First partial computation shows compatibility with current ITU bandwidth

requirement.• Initial Candidate bands proposed

Frequency Group SIGATConclusions

• SIGAT will propose technical solutions for spectrum allocation aiming at the insertion of UAS into General Air Traffic

• SIGAT will help European nations in the definition of a potential joint set of requirements for UAS spectrum allocation and will support the elaboration of a European position towards WRC-11 conference

• SIGAT will contribute to the preparation of next UAS agenda items for WRC-15

• SIGAT should be an input for EDA/ESA Feasibility Study and Demo Mission
