Ofcom UAS Spectrum Consultation

This SkyWise is to draw attention to the current Ofcom consultation titled Spectrum for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) which closes on Monday 5 September 2022.

This consultation proposes to introduce a new spectrum licence for drone operators, especially those looking to fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) using mobile or satellite technologies. The proposed Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Operator Radio licence would authorise the licensed operator to use a range of technologies on their UAS/drone fleet that are not currently permitted today.
