                                                                                    Exhibit 1


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”) to permit BAE Systems 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.

        The purpose of this test is to demonstrate proof of concept operations as support for the
development of a counter-RPG tracking radar for Intelligence and Information Warfare
Directorate (I2WD) of the US Army Communications-Electronics Research, Development and
Engineering Center (CERDEC), in connection with a Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored
event to evaluate Active Protection Systems (APS) at Redstone Test Center (RTC) for the
Modular Active Protection Systems (MAPS) program.

       These operations will be in support of the following government contract and for Internal
Research and Development:

         Contract Number:      W56KGU-15-C-0067
         Agency Customer:      Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD)
                               ATTN: RDER-IWR-AS (MAPS)
                               6003 Combat Drive
                               APG, MD 21005
         Contract POC:         Francis (Frank) L. Gillan
                               Tel: (443) 861-1407

NOTE:

     -   The license is requested to permit operation in support of the above contract AND ALSO
         for Internal Research and Development.

     -   Accordingly, a Station Class of XD or XT is requested, to permit operation in support of
         both the contract and IR&D.

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

           B.     RF Sources

                   The transmitter will be a BAE Systems custom design. The signal is created by a
           crystal referenced PLL, then amplified and transmitted through an electronically scanned
           antenna. The waveform is CW, tunable between 23.7 and 24.5 GHz, transmitting a pair
           of frequencies separated by 50 KHz to 2 MHz; either simultaneously or alternating at a
           rate between 10 kHz and 70 kHz.

                  BAE Systems notes that the transmissions will be non-pulsed signals.

                  The transmitter power will be adjusted to assure that the requested ERP level is
           not exceeded.
