WGFM Civil-Military meeting
23-24 November 2016, Prague
LTC Rodolphe Quemerais
WRC-19 CaT chairman
MoD/DGSIC – FRANCE

2. Briefing outline Principles AI of High military interest
AI of Medium military interest
Way forward
23/11/2016

3. Principles Pre-assessment during WRC-15 (Civ-Mil)
NATO Military Assessment in progress (Mil)
AIs sorted by « military interest »
4 categories
HIGH: NATO Harmonised bands targeted
MEDIUM: Impact likely – To be monitored
LOW: No impact identified at this stage
NONE: No impact possible
No position established yet
Actually, it is quite early in our schedule to talk to you of the position as the position has not been established yet
23/11/2016

4. HIGH military interest AI
AI 1.1: Amateur MHz
MHz: Current and future combat net radio
AI 1.2: Power limit on MetSat, MSS and FSS
Adjacent band concern ( MHz and MHz)
Possibly downgrade to « Medium »
AI 1.3: MetSat ( MHz) upgrade to primary service
Not harmonised band but military use by several NATO nations
23/11/2016

5. HIGH military interest AI
AI 1.7: non-GSO satellites need
Possible allocation in MHz and MHz
Possible impact in NATO harmonised band
( MHz)
AI 1.10: GADSS
Potential impact on military usage in MHz
AI 1.12: ITS
Impact on radiolocation below 5850 MHz
1.7
Possible issue with the resolve 3
23/11/2016

6. HIGH military interest AI
AI 1.13: IMT above 20 GHz
Possible impact on several NJFA bands (in-band or adjacent)
NJFA: GHz (radiolocation)
GHz (fixed and mobile) GHz (radiolocation) GHz (MSS)
Several other non-NJFA bands used in support of NATO operations
23/11/2016

7. HIGH military interest AI
AI 1.14: HAPS
NJFA band: GHz
Adjacent NJFA bands: GHz (satellite) GHz (radiolocation)
AI 1.16: RLAN
Essential radiolocation usage in MHz
Linked to 9.1.5
9.1.3: non GSO
Impact on NJFA band MHz
23/11/2016

8. HIGH military interest AI
9.1.5: Rec – Link to 1.16
9.1.7: Uplink transmission
9.1.8: M2M / IoT
Targeted band monitored
23/11/2016

9. MEDIUM military interest AI
AI 1.4: BSS (Annex 7, App 30)
Interest TBC
AI 1.5: Earth stations in motion
Adjacent NJFA band ( GHz & GHz)
Possible benefit
AI 1.6: non-GSO
Possible issues with national military use in some bands (e.g GHz)
23/11/2016

10. MEDIUM military interest AI
AI 1.8: GMDSS
Regulatory impact to be monitored
AI 1.9.1: AIS – Possible benefit
AI 1.9.2: VDES – To be monitored
AI 1.11: ITS – To be monitored
23/11/2016

11. MEDIUM military interest AI
9.1.1: IMT in MHz and MHz
– Possible adjacent band issues
9.1.4: Stations onboard sub-orbital vessels
9.1.6: WPT
9.1.9: FSS allocation in GHz
9.1.6 e impact of WPT for electric vehicles on radiocommunication services
