Jay Raymond, chief of space operations for the U.S. Space Force; Charles Mathias, associate bureau chief of the FCC\u2019s Wireless Telecommunications Bureau; and Ron Repasi, acting chief engineer with the FCC\u2019s Office of Engineering and Technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The briefing will take place via remote call-in, as the House is not in session. Such briefings have been commonplace in recent weeks as Congress adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On April 20, the FCC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/breaking-news\/2020\/04\/17\/fcc-has-votes-to-approve-spectrum-plan-pentagon-rejected\/\">unanimously voted to move forward<\/a> with the request by Ligado to use part of the L-band spectrum that defense officials, among others, have long argued will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2020\/04\/22\/air-force-works-to-mitigate-ligado-deals-impact-on-gps\/\">create interference with GPS capabilities<\/a> over the continental United States, harming military use and the economic benefits from the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ligado\u2019s case rests on the argument that the Pentagon\u2019s testing does not accurately capture the mitigation plan the company has developed over the years. The firm also argues there is no proof that interference will be an issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planned HASC hearing comes two weeks after 22 members of the committee, including key leaders, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2020\/05\/08\/hasc-members-demand-information-from-fcc-on-ligado-fight\/\">wrote to the FCC<\/a> demanding answers about the technical analysis performed by the commission. Chairman Adam Smith, D-Wash., and ranking member Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, co-signed that letter as well as an op-ed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/breaking-news\/2020\/04\/22\/fcc-and-ligado-are-undermining-gps-and-with-it-our-economy-and-national-security\/\" target=\"_blank\">published by C4ISRNET<\/a> with their Senate counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate Armed Services Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2020\/05\/06\/the-pentagon-had-made-its-case-against-ligado-what-comes-next-isnt-clear\/\">held a May 6 hearing<\/a> on Ligado, which also featured Deasy and Raymond, alongside Pentagon research and engineering head Mike Griffin. The addition of FCC members, something missing from the SASC event, is notable for this discussion. SASC Chairman Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., has accused the FCC of trying to sneak the Ligado approval in over a weekend with no notice for the Pentagon \u2014 something the FCC has denied through a spokesman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike a May 6 public hearing from the Senate Armed Services Committee, this briefing will feature representatives from the Federal
