9. 9 Australian Defence Spectrum Strategic Plan - issued under authority of Chief Information Officer, DoD ‘public domain concise version’ released May 2004 - purpose includes ‘operations’ as well as ‘preparation’ where preparation = test, training and experimentation Lack of international harmony in telemetry frequencies and the absence of national allocations specific to aeronautical telemetry is a risk area of some magnitude. WRC-2007 will consider future allocations. (para 31f) Telemetry is a vital function for military research, testing, training and exercises. Absence of harmonised telemetry frequencies has important interoperability consequences.(para 67) Telemetry bandwidth requirements are expanding. (para 68)

10. Australian Communications Authority Spectrum Management Strategy Released June 2004. Telemetry bandwidth requirements are expanding. WRC-07 will consider allocations for mobile wideband aeronautical telemetry and telecommand in the 3–30 GHz band. Strategy The Department of Defence will: retain the need for telemetry in the L and S bands; and work with the international telemetry community and national regulatory bodies to identify suitable harmonised telemetry assignments in the SHF band.

13. 13 Telemetry - Economics Region 3 Estimated Benefits/Impacts (conservative) infrastructure risk $7B fixed, economic risk $38B/annum Australian National Benefits/Impacts not currently estimated (but note the Australian ranges (air, land, sea & space) occupy over twice the area of the entire US Major Range and Test Facility Base but with ROI and annual cost savings/avoidance unknown). Equipment replacement cost cited $400M - ANAO Australian DoD 1996, $1.5B spent on aerospace T&E alone – Minister for Science and Personnel. 2002, $270M per annum spent on Defence T&E, ANAO Monash University (Space only) 2001 $0.7B investment will bring $1.1B/annum yield.

16. 16 UAV Spectrum Working Group is now being promoted under the leadership of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Research Centre for Aerospace Automation (ARCAA). First meeting was held 23 rd February 2006.
