© 2006 The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved 4 Purpose of Briefing n Increase the awareness of important roles and urgency of telemetry and to seek global collaboration in meeting global telemetry needs –Current telemetry band do not meet current demand for bandwidth –If telemetry needs are not addressed NOW, lack of telemetry can result in serious impacts until resolved –Delay, cost impact, risks of program failures, impact on public safety, national security, national economy, national competitiveness –Telemetry needs to be harmonized at a regional or global level Worldwide Telemetry Spectrum Usage WRC Agenda Item 1.5 “To consider spectrum requirements and... spectrum allocations for aeronautical telecommand and high-bit rate aeronautical telemetry” (ITU WP 8B)

Aeronautical Telemetry Process of making measurements on an aeronautical vehicle and sending the measurements to a distant location for analysis

All rights reserved 7 Spectrum and National Economies n Radio spectrum is a major economic resource and national infrastructure to technology-based nations n Use of radio spectrum for research, development and certification of aircraft, missiles, rockets is growing about 10% per year Airline operations Maritime borders & shipping surveillance IT industry Aerospace Defense TT&C Spectrum Mgt Spectrum for aviation and aerospace R&D becoming unavailable Major industry sectors are affected

© 2006 The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved 8 Impact to Economy n Affect ability to develop and certify new aircraft, weapon systems, UAVs –Affects cost and schedule – for example, 1 flight test delay costs $1M in the USA alone n Potential cost impact and loss is huge –Cost to USA $5B per year by 2015 n Costs to private industry unknown –Estimated to be $1M per week in the USA alone Costs must be passed on to citizens –Higher airline tickets Reduced travel –Increased weapon systems tests Reduced public service, Higher tax –Aviation Safety Reduced air travel –Limited R&D Dependence, Loss of market entry

All rights reserved 9 Impact to Aviation Safety n If telemetry bands not secured, aviation safety will be challenged n US has completed studies and found that the following bands are usable for flight test Telemetry in the air-to- ground direction only –5 091 – MHz n MLS has not used MHz n No impact to aviation even if MLS is ever to operate in the band –4 400 – MHz n Numerous Fixed and Mobile military systems n Coordination with fixed satellite and terrestrial microwave n Continued improvement of aviation safety without impact to aviation safety bands –5 925 – MHz n Coordination with fixed satellite service and terrestrial microwave n Continued improvement of aviation safety without impact to aviation safety bands

All rights reserved 10 Impact to Public Service n Insufficient spectrum for telemetry will slow down or stop scientific research, development of sensors, other technologies that depend on radio spectrum ocean colour studies > detection of fishing grounds wave height analysis > prosecution of oil spilling ships plants classification > crop monitoring & prediction atmosph.composition > air pollution monitoring clouds classification > disaster warnings Dependent on other countries for public well-being UAVs Sounding Rockets Balloons Satellites Sensors TechnologyResearchPublic Service

All rights reserved 13 Impact to Your National Security n Delays in fielding of weapons can affect military readiness n Significantly increased costs might limit national defense capability n Harmonized telemetry will ensure the timely accurate and cost effective testing

© 2006 The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved 14 Impact to Your Wireless Commercial Community? n None!! n Proposed telemetry bands do not interfere with IMT 2000

All rights reserved 15 Current Status of Agenda 1.5 Candidate Bands Bands studied within ITU-R WP 8B 4400 – 4940 MHz [5030] 5091–5150 [5250] MHz 5925 – 6700 MHz ITU-R WP 8B concluded that Due to technical constraints and technology that is not mature, bands above 16 GHz proposed for study will no longer be considered under this AI Declared Bandwidth Requirements US – 650 MHz France – 100 MHz -1GHz United Kingdom – 105 MHz n Liaison statements to other working parties approved n Sharing Studies are completed

© 2006 The MITRE Corporation. All rights reserved 16 YOU NEED TO: – Form a telemetry working group to represent your nation’s interests – Determine importance of telemetry to your nation – Collaborate to estimate your nation’s telemetry needs – Review the ITU-R WP 8B papers (especially draft CPM report) on AI 1.5 – Participate in the AI 1.5 Working Groups at ATU and in Geneva

All rights reserved 20 Main WP8B Results n Flight test telemetry can be available in all studied bands n These bands are already occupied by other services and have to be shared on a non-interference basis n Services to be protected are Fixed Satellite Services Radio Astronomy Microwave Landing System (MLS) Airport RLAN n Aircraft payload telemetry (including UAV) is not considered here. On short term basis the requirements can be fulfilled in already allocated bands to the Mobile Service.

All rights reserved 21 Main WP 8B Issues n How to achieve this non-interference sharing with other services? n Flight test telemetry systems will have to comply with some restrictions, e.g. power limitation per transmitter adapted aircraft antenna pattern frequency coordination between ranges n Limitations are under study and will be decided by WR´C07 after final band állocation in November ´07
