1. AFTRCC PRESENTATION to the Intergovernmental Radio Advisory Committee GPS Re-radiation Devices Applications

2. Introduction AFTRCC founded nearly 50 years ago Represents aerospace industry interests on radio spectrum policy issues Recognized by FCC and NTIA as Non-Government coordinator for the shared, Government/Non-Government flight-test frequencies Membership: - Agilent Technologies- Northrop Grumman - Bechtel- Raytheon - Boeing- Rockwell Collins - Bombardier- Spectrum Certification Solutions - Herley Lancaster- Textron (Bell Helicopter and Cessna) - L-3- United Technologies (Sikorsky) - Lockheed Martin

3. Aerospace Industry Vital to US Economy Generates 15 % of GDP and over 11 million jobs Over 40 % of industry’s products are exported Largest net exporter of manufactured goods Central to US lead in technology

4. AFTRCC Use of and Need for GPS Re-radiation Devices Allows Indoor Maintenance and Testing of GPS- Dependent Equipment and Systems –Enables receipt of a GPS signal within Hangar –No Longer Dependent Upon the Weather Saves Time/Money –Allows schedules to be met –Avoids delivery penalties Testing Navigation and Other Aircraft Systems

5. AFTRCC Supports Regulatory Conditions in Section 8.3.28 of the NTIA Manual –Properly address the potential for interference Individual FCC Licensing of Devices/Systems –Need to ensure application process is not overly burdensome Limited GPS Re-radiation device use

6. AFTRCC Proposes Single approach to FAA coordination – Regional Office Determination that NTIA Manual Section 8.3.16 is not applicable to FCC applications for GPS Re-radiation devices FCC licensing maximum power designation be consistent with NTIA Manual, EIRP not ERP
