**Approach for IMT-2000 Accommodation**
**Sharing Potential & Protection Areas**
**Band Sharing & Segmentation Options**
**Cost Estimates for Relocation**
**Includes DoD Report **

## Major Government Systems(Defense, Law Enforcement, Natural Resources Management, Air Traffic Control, Space Operations)

**FIXED**** Service Systems**
**Tactical Radio Relay Systems (****TRR****)**
**Air Combat Training Systems (****ACTS****)**
**Satellite Control Networks (Space Ground Link System - ****SGLS****)**
**Tactical Control Links/Precision Guided Munitions (****PGM****)**
**OTHER**** Systems (close combat communications, deployable emergency communications, combat ID systems, mobile tactical voice & data, robotic control functions and target scoring systems) **

## SHARING/SEGMENTATION OPTIONS

## SHARING/SEGMENTATION OPTIONS & FEDERAL GOVT SYSTEMS

## SHARING POSSIBILITIES & GOVERNMENT RELOCATION BANDS

**SHARING POSSIBILITIES & GOVERNMENT RELOCATION BANDS**

## National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)

**FY1999**** - Reimburse Federal Govt Agencies required to relocate or modify radio systems to accommodate private sector use of spectrum**

**   ****FY2000**** (Surrender of spectrum in which DoD is a**
**    ****primary user)**
**   ****NTIA, in consultation with FCC, must identify & make available to DoD for its primary use, if necessary, an alternate band as a replacement for DoD spectrum surrendered**
**   ****Secy’s of Commerce & Defense and Chm of Joint Chiefs must jointly certify to certain Congressional committees that alternate bands provide comparable technical characteristics to restore essential military capability**

## Options versus Cost ($ in millions, FY02)

- *

*** Some system costs not available & not included**

## Conclusions

**1. Sharing with 3G will be difficult**
**2. Spectrum for relocation of  all Govt Systems is not available**
**3. Of the options considered, two (out-of-band pairing) have possibilities to accommodate 3G assuming NDAA conditions are met and continuity of govt operations is maintained**
**4. Vacating portions of 1710-1850 MHz band could vary from 9 to 29 years assuming comparable spectrum is available**
**5. FCC/NTIA Final Reports are inputs to the on-going spectrum rule-making process**
