       1.      Introduction

        By the instant application (“Application”), BAE Systems Information and Electronic
Systems Integration Inc. (“BAE Systems”) requests that the Commission grant Special
Temporary Authority (“STA”) for a six month period from April 9- October 9, 2018 to operate
the facilities (the “Facilities”) specified in the instant application.

       2.      Purpose of the Operation

        The testing conducted by BAE Systems is a critical part of the manufacture and delivery
of military systems provided to the Armed Forces in support of Homeland Security as well as
war efforts.

        In support of both Internal Research and Development as well as the contract listed
below, the purpose of these tests is to demonstrate a radar capability intended for aircraft
protection against missile threats. Testing will be done using threat simulators and RF
transponders to demonstrate that this capability can achieve performance levels needed to
support the aircraft self-protection mission.

       In addition to IR&D, the following government contract will be supported by these
operations:

               Contract Number:         W56KGU-15-C-0067
               Agency Customer:         Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD)

                                        APG, MD 21005
               Contract POC:            Francis (Frank) L. Gillan
                                        Tel: (443) 861-1407

       A waiver of the Station ID requirements of 47 CFR §5.115(a) is respectfully requested.

       4.      Interference Mitigation

        The antenna under test has a narrow, electronically steerable beam with -16 dB average
side lobes. Testing will typically consist of pointing this beam towards targets with a fixed
location and the main beam will not scan a large area. Generally during testing emission will be
limited to short periods of less than 1 minute and only periodically with an overall duty cycle of
less than 10% during tests. Testing will be sporadically planned and executed throughout the
course of this STA, typically for one to three days at a time at an expected frequency of once or
twice a month. Testing will typically only occur between the hours of 8AM and 6PM EST on
week days. During testing, targets will primarily be located on the ground and emission will be
typically limited to no more than 10 degrees above the horizon. It is expected that these typical
test conditions will represent 90% or more of the testing done under this STA.
