  3. Connecting Researchers to the Warfighter President Obama, State of the Union, 25 Jan 2011 “The first step in winning the future is encouraging American innovation. Our free enterprise system is what drives innovation. But because it’s not always profitable for companies to invest in basic research, throughout our history, our government has provided cutting-edge scientistsand inventors with the support they need. Two years ago, I said that we needed to reach a level of research and development , we haven’t seen since the Space Race. And in a few weeks I’ll be sending a budget to Congress that helps us meet that goal. We’ll invest in biomedical research, information technology, and especially clean energy technology -- an investment that will strengthen our security, protect our planet, and create countless new jobs for our people. Maintaining our leadership in research and technology is crucial to America’s success. But if we want to win the future - - if we want innovation to produce jobs in America and not overseas – then we also have to win the race to educate our kids. Over the next 10 years, with so many baby boomers retiring from our classrooms, we want to prepare 100,000 new teachers in the fields of science and technology and engineering and math.” Investment in Basic and Applied Research is a commitment to the future warfighter 3

  11. Snapshot of Aeronautical Telemetry Usage Trends & Spectrum Availability Prior to 2007 World Radio Conference • Blue Line (Left Scale): Amount of spectrum available for aeronautical telemetry since 1960 • Black Dots (Right Scale): Data rates for test vehicles at flight test ranges • Red Line (Right Scale): Projected trend of test vehicle data rates • Does not include WRC bands • At WRC-07, ITU allocated an additional ~1.4 GHz for ATM 11

  12. National Broadband Plan • Extensive impact and sharing studies underway by Ranges • Very costly • Lead times for research & development is years if bands are lost • Wireless industry wants these specific bands because of cost and performance: • 1755-1850 MHz band matches the spectrum they got from us in 1990s (1710-1755) • 2200-2290 MHz band pairs well with 1710-1850 because industry can use same antennas & radios • Candidate bands for the Broadband Initiative are: Band critical for missile and missile defense T&E Band critical for all unmanned vehicle testing, including missile and missile defense T&E. All DoD satellite C2. Bands in yellow are used for various T&E purposes 12

  13.
