To provide air traffic control of military aircraft operating in the National Airspace System, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) makes use of frequencies in the 225 - 400 MHz (UHF) band which is normally administered by the Department of Defense. In 1970 the Military Communications and Electronics Board (MCEB) announced their intention to implement 25 kHz channel spacing in the UHF band. In 1976, the MCEB published an implementation plan which allotted 274 channels for use by the FAA for air traffic control. The purpose of the following study is to determine if the 274 channels made available will be sufficient to satisfy existing and future communication requirements for air traffic control of military aircraft. The study will also show how much additional spectrum support would be required if the 274 channels allotted are not sufficient and possible geographic areas where this additional support would be most necessary.
