                                                                                         Exhibit 1



                                   Public Interest Statement

By the instant application (“Application”), BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems
Integration Inc. (“BAE Systems”) requests a 2 year conventional experimental license to permit
near-term operation of the facilities specified herein.

1. Purpose of Operation

The requested operations, a continuation of the operations previously authorized under STA
(WM9XAV) are to support radiating testing requirements set forth under the following
government contract:

       Contract Number:      N00019-15-C-0038
       Agency Customer:      NAVAIR, PMA-213
       Contract POC:         Michael Hurley
       POC Telephone #:      301-342-5998
       POC Email:            michael.s.hurley@navy.mil

A waiver of the Commission’s Station ID requirements in Section 5.115 is requested.

These operations have been licensed at Lebanon, NJ under call sign WD2XDP for many years.
This Application seeks Commission authority for similar operations at Merrimack, NH, to
continue to evaluate the feasibility of these operations at a new location.

-      The operations relate to BAE Systems’ manufacture and testing of the OE-120/UPX
       antenna using a U.S. Navy Acceptance Test Procedures. The OE-120/UPX is an
       advanced electronically steered circular antenna system developed for the U.S. Navy. It
       is part of the AEGIS battle control system installed on all Navy surface warfare
       platforms, including Navy destroyers, cruisers, amphibious assault, and aircraft carrier
       platforms. Its primary purpose is to provide IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) data to the
       battle control system with a secondary purpose of providing fire control data to the
       AEGIS system if main radar is degraded.

-      The AIMS antenna is used as the passive transmit/receive element of the shipboard
       antenna system that operates with the IFF system in all military IFF modes or in military
       and commercial air traffic control radar beacon system (ATCRBS) equipment.
