Aerospace Group Talks Drone Spectrum With Rosenworcel Aide

The Aerospace Industries Association and members updated the FCC on the group’s 2018 proposal for rules allowing use of the 5030-5091 MHz band for drones (see 2110130044), in a call with an aide to Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. “AIA ... reinforced its understanding that the 5030-5091 MHz band is the only spectrum in the U.S. dedicated exclusively” to drone command and control, said a filing posted Wednesday in RM-11798. AIA said it “anticipates current and future regulatory needs for the movement of people and of sizable payloads.” Aura Networks, Boeing, Collins Aerospace and Lockheed Martin were among participants.
