The White House is funding a team of four agencies looking to combine their surveillance radar capabilities and possibly auction off the spectrum freed up by that consolidation.
The Office of Management and Budget on June 2 gave $71.5 million to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to proceed with a feasibility study into how to consolidate their radio spectrum and auction a portion of it to commercial interests.
