              Request for Very Brief Three Day Special Temporary Authority
                  Transmissions to Occur on November 6, 7 and 8, 2018

                                                                                    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, for only a 3 day period, on November 6, 7 and 8, 2018.

       A Request for Expedited Processing has been submitted in support of this request.

       2.      Purpose of the Operation

        The proposed airborne testing at a private use operating airfield in Green Cove Springs,
FL 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.

        Specifically, in this case the proposed operations are in support of a joint venture between
BAE and the US Army to demonstrate an option for increased performance of the fielded
Common Missile Warning System. This is a quick reaction project aimed at providing added
protection to aircrews in hostile areas.

       Contract Information:

               Contract: W58RGZ-13-D-0245
               Agency: US Army AMC
               POC: Col Kevin Chaney

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

       3.      Mitigation of Interference

       The technical and operational characteristic of the transmissions will ensure mitigation of
impact to co-channel operations, as follows:

       -       Only three airborne test events are anticipated during this three day period, with
               each event not to exceed 1.6 hours of flight time

       -       The duration of each transmission will not to exceed 150 milliseconds

       -      The beam is narrow and fixed focused and does not scan, the computer steers the
       antenna to the target before radiating

       -       The target (located on the ground) is at a fixed location


          4.   Other Issues

               -       Flight ceiling = 304.8m
               -       Radius of aircraft around centerpoint = 8 km
               -       Elevation of ground (AMSL) at centerpoint coordinates = 5 m
               -       Distance to nearest aircraft landing area = 0 km

               A.      Antenna Data

                 For the convenience of the Commission, the following chart defines certain
specifications relating to the directional antennas that are to be used in the experiment:

 Mfg.               Model Number Frequency Range          Gain             BW
 BIRD               BAS0030000        34.1-34.9 GHz       33 dBi           E-Plane H-Plane
 Aerosystems                                                                  deg   deg
                                                                              3.5     3.5


               B.      RF Source

               The RF source is integral to the BIRD Aerosystems MACS Sensor.

               C.      Additional Signal Amplification

               Additional signal amplification is integral to the BIRD Aerosystems MACS
Sensor.
