RTCA gathers leaders and stakeholders to address the aviation industry’s most pressing challenges. Among the most urgent topics is ensuring the future of spectrum compatibility. From our special committee work to a new virtual event in December of this year, RTCA is creating a platform which strives for collaborative, achievable solutions in spectrum allocation.

Special Committee Work
RTCA’s Special Committee on Spectrum Compatibility, SC-242, is currently working on two white papers to support the guidance from past spectrum standards and what can be improved to capture deterministic usage of aviation spectrum. SC-242 works with EUROCAE Working Group 124 and will produce technically equivalent documents.
