RTCA, Inc.; RTCA Special Committee 185; Aeronautical Spectrum
Planning Issues
Pursuant to section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(P.L. 92-463, 5 U.S.C., Appendix I), notice is hereby given for the
formation of a new Special Committee (185), Aeronautical Spectrum
Planning Issues. The notice and the Terms of Reference are as follows:
Subject: Invitation to participate in the work of Special Committee
185, Aeronautical Spectrum Planning Issues.
At its meeting held on July 13, 1994, the RTCA Technical Management
Committee established SC-185 to develop Aeronautical Spectrum Planning
Issues that would:
investigate current and anticipated frequency allocation
initiatives
their potential impact on the aviation community
recommend appropriate action
Mr. Kris Hutchison of ARINC was appointed by the Technical
Management Committee.
The work of this committee will likely be of particular interest to
airlines, the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, NTIA,
FCC, business and general aviation, airport operators, communications
equipment designers, manufacturers, suppliers and users.
The Proposed Terms of Reference for the committee are enclosed for
your reference. All interested individuals are invited to participate
in this activity and are encouraged to attend the first meeting to be
held on September 1-2, 1994 at the RTCA Conference Room, 1140
Connecticut Avenue, NW., Suite 1020, Washington, DC.
Proposed Terms of Reference
Aeronautical Spectrum Planning Issues
On July 13, 1994, the RTCA Technical Management Committee
established Special Committee 185 to review current aeronautical
frequency allocations and to develop a spectrum to accommodate the
operational and technical requirements associated with the evolving
Communications, Navigation and Surveillance system. The CNS system is
placing new demands on aviation spectrum resources and is changing the
way existing systems utilize those resources. Therefore, the Special
Committee shall:
Identify existing aviation spectrum resources
Determine the near-term and long-term civil aviation
spectrum requirements
Prepare the related technician and operational
justification supporting the aeronautical frequency allocations
Develop and propose recommended changes or additions to
the International Radio Regulations as needed to satisfy such
requirements.
Guidance
The Special Committee in its work should:
1. Review current requirements and associated frequency allocations
for continuing validity both near and long term.
2. Identify requirements for new or planned systems and concepts
expected to come into being during the referenced time-frame and
recommended specific areas of the spectrum resource needed to satisfy
these requirements.
3. Consider the political and regulatory implications, both
domestic and international; of current and foreseen demands upon the
aeronautical frequency spectrum as they may relate to forthcoming World
Radio Conferences of the International Telecommunication Union, and
recommend alternative strategies to satisfy such spectrum requirements
at these conferences and in the domestic regulatory form.
4. The committee should complete its work within ten months.
Issued in Washington, D.C., on July 22, 1994.
Steve Zaidman,
Acting Designated Officer.
