Purpose of Briefing

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 UsageWRC Agenda Item 1.5

“To consider spectrum requirements

and ... spectrum allocations for

aeronautical telecommand and high-bit

rate aeronautical telemetry”

(ITU WP 8B)

Telemetry: Process of Measuring at a distance for test and analysis purposes. Not for operational purposes.

Aeronautical Telemetry Process of making measurements

on an aeronautical vehicle and sending the measurements to a distant location for analysis

Spectrum and National Economies

Radio spectrum is a major economic resource and national infrastructure to technology-based nations

Use of radio spectrum for research, development and certification of aircraft, missiles, rockets is growing about 10% per year

Spectrum for aviation and aerospace R&D becoming unavailable

Major industry sectors are affected

Impact to Economy

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 Potential cost impact and loss is huge

– Cost to USA $5B per year by 2015 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

9


Impact to Aviation Safety If telemetry bands not secured, aviation safety will be

challenged 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 – 5 150 MHz

MLS has not used 5091-5150 MHz No impact to aviation even if MLS is ever to operate in the

band– 4 400 – 4 940 MHz

Numerous Fixed and Mobile military systems Coordination with fixed satellite and terrestrial microwave Continued improvement of aviation safety without impact to

aviation safety bands– 5 925 – 6 700 MHz

Coordination with fixed satellite service and terrestrial microwave

Continued improvement of aviation safety without impact to aviation safety bands

Impact to Public Service

Insufficient spectrum for telemetry will slow down or stop scientific research, development of sensors, other technologies that depend on radio spectrum

Impact to Your National Security

Delays in fielding of weapons can affect military readiness

Significantly increased costs might limit national defense capability

Harmonized telemetry will ensure the timely accurate and cost effective testing

14


Impact to Your Wireless Commercial Community?None!!

Proposed telemetry bands do not interfere with IMT 2000

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 MHzFrance – 100 MHz -1GHzUnited Kingdom – 105 MHz

Liaison statements to other working parties approvedSharing Studies are completed

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

If You Don’t Take Action, What Happens?

International Community will move on without your concerns and inputs.

Some nations will suffer for a long time from the lack of telemetry – Economy

– National security

– Aviation safety

– National competitiveness

Main WP8B Results

Flight test telemetry can be available in all studied bands

These bands are already occupied by other services and

have to be shared on a non-interference basis

Services to be protected are

Fixed Satellite Services

Radio Astronomy

Microwave Landing System (MLS)

Airport RLAN

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.

21


Main WP 8B Issues

How to achieve this non-interference sharing with other services?

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

Limitations are under study and will be decided by WR´C07 after final band állocation in November ´07
