Applicant certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is needed to test and demo a radar prototype developed at Numerica Corporation. A field test is to be performed using a Numericas prototyped design to demonstrate operation to potential customers and generate potential funding. Although the current prototype operates within the 5.8GHz ISM band with low power emissions, an FCC STA license is required to transmit the maximum EIRP expected during demonstration.

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is needed to test and demo a software defined radar prototype developed at Numerica Corporation and Agile RF Systems (ARS). The radar targets class 1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) at 8km using pulse-doppler techniques. A field test is to be performed using a Numerica designed Radar Processing Unit (RPU) and ARS’s Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) to demonstrate operation to potential customers within the counter-UAS market and generate potential funding. Although the current prototype operates within the 5.8GHz ISM band, an FCC STA license is required to transmit the maximum EIRP expected during demonstration (53dBW).

Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The testing and demonstration will operate within the 5.8 GHz ISM band (5.725 GHz – 5.875 GHz) with a bandwidth of 50 MHz at a remote location in order to avoid any FAA or FCC interference issues. The location is Pawnee Sportsman Center, 40914 Co Rd 71, Briggsdale, CO 80611, which supports UAV flight. The RPU will generate pulses of approximately 0.1-10 us width to be transmitted with a directive AESA (24dB directivity). The AESA has 4 8x8 subarray elements for a maximum 16x16 or 256 elements on transmit and receive. Each element is designed to supply 1-Watt power to a rectangular patch element. The maximum EIRP is expected to be 53 dBW. Using an Transmit/Receive Module, after transmission the receiver will collect scattering EM returns from the target and clutter Radar Cross Section (RCS). The RPU will sample and processes said returns using Numerica proprietary techniques to detect and track the target.
