Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
STA is necessary to test RF communications between two subsystems (Ground and Air) for the Aircraft MANPADS Protection System (AMPS). Free space radiation is required as part of the contract requirements.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Testing between subsytems. AMPS is an aircraft protection system that uses both ground and air components to defeat MANPADS attacks. Ground sensors monitor the protected area for active missiles and report any threats to an AMPS Ground Subsystem. The AMPS-GS uses a radio frequency (RF) data link to transmit threat alerts to aircraft that are in the protected area. For this phase of the program, ATK, Inc. will not be using real aircraft, but using a Remote Test Range for housing the AMPS Airborne Subsystem. The RF communication is the key to AMPS testing.
