Summary of Key Findings and Further Research 123 The most significant limitations with respect to national infrastructure relate to the lack of clear requirements and standards for airfield AGVT, for technology requirements, interoperability, and compatibility with other airside technologies that exist and will be deployed in the future. The lack of a clear framework for regulatory approval (e.g., from FAA and FCC)
