    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.
