Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
DRS requires an STA to evaluate the performance of its subject radar system. DRS needs expeditious grant of the STA so that it may begin conducting near term testing and evaluations of radar performance. If the radar is able to meet the performance criteria, DRS hopes to integrate the subject radar into DRS products for sale to the government to be used for surveillance practices and target acquisitions. Grant of the STA will serve the public interest because it will enable DRS to quickly begin conducting necessary testing and performance evaluations to ensure that the subject radar will be operating at its maximum efficiency when used by government officials.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  The product is a radar system that will be used for surveillance and target acquisition. The radar system will support a variety of ground force protection missions. , including fire source location, friendly forces warning, friendly fire correction and low RCS & slow flying airborne targets (like UAVs, gilders and hovering platforms) detection. Upon grant of the STA, DRS will perform tests to evaluate the subject radar’s target range and its ability to track various types of targets. Testing will be conducted at the DRS facility in St. Louis, Missouri, and at the Becker Farm in Marine, Illinois. The expedited license will allow for near term evaluation of the subject radar to determine suitable performance.
