will consider spectrum requirements and possible regulatory actions, including allocations, the agenda said. An ITU-R study identified the need for 34 MHz of terrestrial and 56 MHz of satellite spectrum to support UAS (CD April 23 p16). Sharing studies in the 5000 to 5150 MHz band for the terrestrial component are focusing on a new AM(R)S allocation and the International Civil Aviation Organization standardized Microwave Landing System operating above 5030 MHz. ITU-R participants working on conference preparations said any solution for additional aeronautical use of the band 5030-5091 MHz needs to safeguard the future of MLS, we've learned. An ITU-R meeting in November will discuss ICAO’s position.
