Description

This course provides a comprehensive overview of spectrum management for aeronautical and radio determination services, including both commercial and military domains. Participants will gain a deep understanding of aeronautical systems, spectrum regulations, and practical spectrum management skills.

Through interactive lectures, practical exercises, and case studies, participants will develop the expertise to address complex challenges in aeronautical spectrum management.

This course is designed for professionals involved in spectrum management for aeronautical services, including:

  • Regulators from national telecommunication authorities
  • Spectrum managers from civil aviation authorities
  • Military spectrum managers
  • Engineers working in aeronautical communication systems

Participants should have a basic understanding of:

  • Radio spectrum concepts
  • Radiocommunication services
  • International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Radio Regulations

Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify different types of commercial and military aeronautical systems.
  • Describe the navigation and communication (NAVCOM) requirements for aircraft.
  • Explain the role of ground-based and satellite-based systems in aeronautical services.
  • Differentiate between the Aeronautical Mobile Radio Service (AMRS) and the Radio Determination Service (RDS).
  • Analyze the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and ITU in aeronautical spectrum management.
  • Describe the importance of spectrum coordination and harmonization for aeronautical systems.
  • Apply their knowledge to spectrum planning exercises for aeronautical services.
  • Evaluate potential sources of harmful interference on the aeronautical spectrum.

This course will combine the following elements

  • Interactive lectures  every week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1500 hours to 1700 hours EAT.
  • Practical exercises to reinforce key concepts and apply knowledge to real-world scenarios.
  • Group discussions to encourage information sharing and collaboration.
  • Case studies to explore real-world challenges and solutions in aeronautical spectrum management.
  • Self-study assignments to deepen understanding of complex topics.

Participants will be assessed through a combination of methods:
