ICCAIA Webinar Series – Episode #2: Protecting Aviation Spectrum
The second episode of the ICCAIA Webinar Series will focus on Protecting Aviation Spectrum and will take place on Tuesday, 3 November 2026 from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. ET.
Radio frequency spectrum is the central nervous system of our aviation system. The protection of the spectrum allocated to civil aviation has safety critical implications for Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS) systems.
The demand for radio frequency spectrum has grown dramatically in recent decades, driven by expansion across satellite, cellular, space, and other industries. This intensifying competition is placing increasing pressure on aviation frequency bands.
In this webinar, we explore current and future spectrum needs, risks that need to be addressed and how key decisions will be made to shape the future of these safety critical aviation frequency bands.
Our speakers:
- Pascal Luciani, Deputy Director, Air Navigation and Aviation Safety, Air Navigation Bureau, ICAO
- Marcy Ost, Director of Spectrum Policy & Regulatory Affairs, The Boeing Company
- Wes Googe, Technical Pilot, Airspace/Aircraft Modernization, American Airlines
- Sai Kalyanaraman, Principal Technical Fellow, Collins Aerospace
- Moderator: Nina Brooks, EVP, ICCAIA
