Military drone frequency

Post by cartman » Wed Feb 26, 2014 5:52 am

Noticed this temporary frequency ** had been added on the acma database yesterday with a strange emission designator

1.786ghz 1M56G7W

http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/licen ... NO=1973372

On a google search it appears to be an unmanned drone frequency

I also found a unclassified us army contractor document from 2012 which is very enlightening
