1 Air4All 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

2 Objectives 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

10 Current Status has started on January 20th, 2009 Workshop 1 + National Workshops have already been held Hypotheses are now being discussed and shared with pms Operational needs discussed during Workshop 1 Need to fly in GAT, mainly for transit phase. Convergence on airspace configurations to focus on for following 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

11 UAS Categories starting from 12 categories merged in 5 categories Mini, Medium Range (Tactical), MALE, HALE, UCAV UAS Categories Flight Altitude (ft) Data-link type Mini < 4500 LOS Medium Range (Tactical) < LOS - BLOS MALE < LOS - BLOS HALE < LOS - BLOS UCAV < LOS - BLOS Note : UCAV are pure military and can not be part of 5B ITUR studies.
