Footnotes

  • 5.448B   The Earth exploration-satellite service (active) operating in the band 5 350-5 570 MHz and space research service (active) operating in the band 5 460-5 570 MHz shall not cause harmful interference to the aeronautical radionavigation service in the band 5 350-5 460 MHz, the radionavigation service in the band 5 460-5 470 MHz and the maritime radionavigation service in the band 5 470-5 570 MHz. (WRC-03)

  • 5.448D   In the frequency band 5 350-5 470 MHz, stations in the radiolocation service shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, radar systems in the aeronautical radionavigation service operating in accordance with No. 5.449. (WRC-03)

  • 5.449   The use of the band 5 350-5 470 MHz by the aeronautical radionavigation service is limited to airborne radars and associated airborne beacons.

  • G56   Federal radiolocation in the bands 1215-1300, 2900-3100, 5350-5650 and 9300-9500 MHz is primarily for the military services; however, limited secondary use is permitted by other Federal agencies in support of experimentation and research programs. In addition, limited secondary use is permitted for survey operations in the band 2900-3100 MHz.

  • G130   Federal stations in the radiolocation service operating in the band 5350-5470 MHz, shall not cause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, Federal stations in the aeronautical radionavigation service operating in accordance with ITU Radio Regulation No. 5.449.

  • US49   In the band 5460-5470 MHz, the non-Federal radiolocation service may be authorized on the condition that it does not cause harmful interference to the aeronautical or maritime radionavigation services or to the Federal radiolocation service.

  • US65   The use of the band 5460-5650 MHz by the maritime radionavigation service is limited to shipborne radars.

2019 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) Agenda Item 1.16

Proposed Use
5150–5925 MHz WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.16
1.16 to consider issues related to wireless access systems, including radio local area networks (WAS/RLAN), in the frequency bands between 5 150 MHz and 5 925 MHz, and take the appropriate regulatory actions, including additional spectrum allocations to the mobile service, in accordance with Resolution 239 [COM6/22] (WRC-15);

SPN-50(V)1 radar

Current Use
5400–5900 MHz SPN-50(V)1 radar
The SPN-50(V)1 radar, built by Saab, is planned to replace the existing SPN-43C air traffic control radar on U.S. Navy Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships. The SPN-43C radar is capable of operating in the 3500-3700 MHz band.

Swathi Weapon Locating Radar (India)

Current Use
5400–5850 MHz Swathi Weapon Locating Radar
According to The Defense Post:

“Developed in collaboration with the Defence Research and Development Organisation, the Swathi radar is 85 percent indigenous, relying heavily on India’s domestic supply chain.

“With a detection range of up to 50 kilometers (31 miles), the radar can identify and locate hostile artillery, enabling precise counter-strikes.”

The radar is manufactured by Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL).
