For non NASA applications, the proposed solution can be targeted to wideband cellular base stations (L-band), Public Safety Radio Base-Stations (P-band), UAV-Base Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption Advance Warning Systems, NOAA Interferometers, Naval and Air Force UAV Communication and Radar Pods. In June 2006, the President signed the Public Alert and Warning System Executive Order to drive the creation of a more "effective, reliable, integrated, flexible, and comprehensive system that enables the American people to receive alert and warning information through as many means as possible." In response, FEMA established the IPAWS Program Management Office (PMO) in April 2007.[1] A UAV-base advance warning system can increase the speed of communication in both remote and populated locations and save lives. The proposed solution will improve the performance of UAV communications. The UAV's unique ISR and long-endurance capabilities provide the Navy and Air Force with real-time intelligence and situational awareness.
