The Boeing Company Request for FCC License Exhibit Rockwell Collins RT-1990(A) C VHF/UHF Transceiver/ARC-210 Independent Research and Development Updated and Submitted March 22, 2019 by Colin Thornsberry The Boeing Company Global Spectrum Management St. Louis Regional Office 5531 Phantom Drive MC S276-2101 Hazelwood, MO 63042-2443 314-545-2424 Why a FCC license is necessary The Boeing Company requests a FCC license in order to test Rockwell Collins ARC-210 RT-1990(A) C radio system. Boeing was awarded US Navy government contract, N00019-18-C-1012, to develop MQ- 25 Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) that will require implementation of this radio system onboard. This license will allow testing of this radio system on a Boeing-owned and operated UAS prior to integration of the radio into the final MQ-25 UAS that will be delivered to the US Navy. Purpose of Operation The purpose of the ARC-210 RT-1990(A) C system is to provide telecommand data to an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). The telecommand data is used for flight control of the UAS. Test Description The ARC-210 RT-1990(A) C will be operated within a 322 kilometer radius from MidAmerica St Louis Airport in Saint Clair County, Illinois. The RT-1990(A) C will be used for launch, flight and recovery of an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) in the St Louis, Missouri region. The RT-1990(A) C is a half-duplex system with a ground RT-1990(A) C radio issuing flight commands to an airborne RT-1990(A) C on the UAS. Once the UAS receives the flight commands, it will acknowledge receipt of the commands and adjust its flight accordingly. The frequency used is for uplink to the UAS and downlink from the UAS. Boeing is requesting five UHF frequencies (two primary, three backup/secondary). Timely Response Appreciated Boeing will greatly appreciate a determination as quickly as possible to meet the directive schedule.
