Gilbert, Jin, Berger, Henriksen, FAA/NASA/ITT FCS Phase III Study Final Report, NASA Contractor Report, CR-2008-214987, February 2008. Documents the indepth studies on select technologies that could support long-term aeronautical mobile communications operating concepts. This work was performed during the third and final phase of NASA’s Technology Assessment for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)/EUROCONTROL Future Communications Study (FCS) under a multiyear NASA contract. It includes the associated findings of ITT Corporation and NASA Glenn Research Center to the FAA as of the end of May 2007.

Henriksen, NASA/ITT UAS Study Task Final Report, NASA Contractor Report CR-2008-214841, February 2008. There are significant activities taking place to establish the procedures and requirements for safe and routine operation of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS). Among the barriers to overcome in achieving this goal is the lack of sufficient frequency spectrum necessary for the UAS control and air traffic control (ATC) communications links.

On October 2-4, 2007, the final findings and recommendations from the Future Communications Study (FCS) were presented at the first meeting of Working Group Technology (WG-T) under the Aeronautical Communications Panel (ACP) or the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The meeting was held in Montreal Quebec Canada. The paper, titled "Future Communication Study – Action Plan 17 Final Conclusions and Recommendations Report," co-authored by Brent Phillips of the FAA, Jacky Pouzet and Nikos Fistas of Eurocontrol, and James Budinger of NASA, was presented under Agenda Item 5, FCS Technology Recommendations.
For the past 3 years, James Budinger led the FCS Technology Investigation for the U.S. team via a task order contract with ITT Corporation. Supporting detailed papers were presented by ITT, NASA’s contractor for the technology assessment. Collectively, the papers provide recommendations for each of the frequency bands to be used for safety critical air-ground communications through the year 2025 and beyond, and outline several actions to be taken over the next few years by the U.S. and European agencies and stakeholders to achieve these recommendations.
