NTIA Comments on Facilitating Opportunities for Advanced Air Mobility

Docket Number
24-629
Date
Tuesday, April 22, 2025

NTIA supports updating the rules of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) in order to boost the development of new aviation sectors such as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), including piloted and remotely piloted aircraft systems. In doing so, safety of all aviation systems, including emerging ones, must top all concerns. 

In addition, the rules must ensure that new services, particularly secondary ones, respect the rights of existing primary and adjacent spectrum users. NTIA thus endorses a Federal/non-Federal secondary allocation for ground-based radiolocation service in the 24.45-24.65 GHz band, subject to appropriate limitations safeguarding critical aviation, existing Federal radiolocation incumbents and satellite-based passive services. 

This comment addresses the 24.45-24.65 GHz band. NTIA plans to file supplemental comments addressing the 454.675-545.975 and 459.675-459.975 MHz band. This band raises important issues requiring additional interagency consultation. NTIA intends to address these thoroughly in the supplemental filing.
