WRC-15 provisionally approved the use of Ku-band satcom links for UAS C2 communications However, to protect co-primary incumbent terrestrial services, a PFD limit on UAS transmissions will be imposed • The PFD limit is expected to be severely constraining and will limit UAS operations To overcome this constraint, the CLAS-ACT Project is developing and testing a novel conformal phased array antenna • Exploit beam synthesis and null steering techniques to reduce the UAS PFD acceptable levels, enabling UAS to operate constraint-free while protecting the terrestrial services • Antenna design will leverage the use of a novel, ultra-lightweight aerogel material to provide a high performance and low SWaP solution • This low SWaP design may enable smaller UAS to gain BLOS coverage Antenna designs, initial performance measurements, and preliminary aircraft ground measurements have been completed.
