On January 4, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”)
released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) setting forth
proposed rules for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems in the
5030-5091 MHz band. At present, unmanned aircraft systems primarily
operate under the FCC's rules for unlicensed and low-power
communications or according to experimental licenses. Neither of these
spectrum resources provide the user with the right to protection from
harmful interference, meaning that communications using such resources
can be unreliable. The FCC's proposed rules attempt to address this
issue by granting unmanned aircraft systems access to licensed
spectrum with the resilience to support more advanced and secure communications.
