According to news in the morning of January 5, Beijing time, on Wednesday, local time, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a proposed new policy to provide the increasingly popular drones on the market with a radio communication band that requires a license, at a frequency of 5G hertz.

At present, UAVs in the United States generally use radio frequency ranges that do not require a license and need to comply with the regulations of the Communications Commission on low-power wireless communications, and some drones use experimental radio spectrum licenses.

In addition to the above-mentioned plan to provide 5G hertz spectrum resources for drones, FCC also announced that it would solicit public opinions and suggestions on whether the current radio communications regulatory regime can ensure the normal operation of drones and terrestrial mobile communications "without interference" at the same time.

In addition, FCC also proposed another proposed regulatory system, that is, if future U. S. drone flight agencies want to communicate with civil aviation air traffic control agencies and other civil aviation aircraft, drones will need to apply for a radio license in the VHF frequency band used by civil aviation.

FCC president Jessica Rosenworth (Jessica Rosenworcel) said that with the emergence of new technologies and new products such as drones, FCC must ensure that the US radio frequency regulatory system adapts to the new needs, which is very important for disaster recovery, emergency rescue, forest fire fighting and other work in the United States.

Currently, US drones are operated remotely, so they rely heavily on wireless communications between ground control stations and aerial drones to ensure normal flight, FCC said.

With the growing popularity of drones in the United States, the operational risks of drones, such as large unmanned opportunities to transport goods or people, or enter the airspace traditionally used by civil airliners, have created a new demand for radio frequency resources that are more reliable and undisturbed, FCC said.

According to reports, in April 2021, another US regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration, introduced a number of regulatory systems for drones, mainly involving small drones flying over residents on the ground and flying at night.

The regulatory regime requires US drone manufacturers to start producing drones equipped with so-called "remote ID" within a year and a half.

"remote ID" is equivalent to providing an identification system for aerial drones, which need to broadcast their identity information to other aircraft through radio broadcasts.

The FAA's initial draft regulation required drone operators to connect devices to the Internet and transmit aerial drone location information at any time, but eventually drone identification regulations removed these requirements. In July last year, however, a federal appeals court upheld the FAA's inclusion of these elements in the regulatory system.
