The US has allocated part of the 800 MHz band to UAVs The FCC lifted the 1991 ban on the use of the 824-849 and 869-894 MHz frequencies for UAS. The resolution was passed unanimously on October 29; The rule will take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. That's almost 50 MHz of low-frequency spectrum for civilian drones. Radio waves in the low frequency range have a greater propagation range, better avoid obstacles and require less energy to emit them, so they can increase the reliability of communications for monitoring the flight of UAVs, including during flights beyond the line of sight (BVLOS). The ADS-B UAT standard operates at a frequency close to 978 MHz, which in the United States forms the basis for monitoring and identifying GA aircraft and manned UAVs in real time. Closer frequencies will allow the use of one antenna feeder device, which will save weight and energy in the UAV, and will also improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the equipment in C2 and ADS-B lines. It is worth noting that the range assigned in the USA is not among those recommended by ICAO. The United States, therefore, shows that national interests are above official recommendations, even from ICAO. In practice, this means more spectrum for US UAS operators and a potential expansion of BVLOS flights. The final document also included an important detail that was not in the early draft - a footnote regarding SpaceX's proposal to buy the adjacent 817-824 and 862-869 MHz frequencies for Starlink Mobile and directly link satellites to phones. However, the FCC has announced that it expects drones and mobile/D2D services to coexist. We remind you that in Russia the main range for managing and monitoring UAVs is 5030-5091 MHz, which the developers consider not the optimal solution. world | initialize.
