Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Fortem Technologies has developed Detect and Avoid(DAA) and Detect and Attack(Counter Drone) Radar systems which operate in the Aeronautical Radionavigation(15.4-15.7GHz) and Radiolocation(15.7-16.5) bands. Detect and Avoid has been classified as Aeronautical Radionavigation and Counter Drone technology has been classified as Radiolocation. Fortem has been granted FCCID: 2APIM-FTR20SKYD for the 15.4-15.7 band and is seeking further testing at various locations in the 15.4-16.5 band for the dual function of Detect and Avoid and Detect and Attack. (Please review STA grant for file 1533-EX-ST-2018) We have been granted an STA previously at 15.4-15.7 at Yuma AZ and were instructed to coordinate with DoD AFC AZ, (520) 528-6423 prior to intended use and will plan to do so again there and at Eglin AFB (Please review STA grant for file 0981-EX-ST-2017) This STA is necessary to support work we are currently doing for AFRL and DARPA contracts on counter-drone technology, work with NASA on drone detect and avoid, and additional work on drones we are proposing to the US DoD (Air Force and Army).

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Testing of counter drone technology in the Radiolocation frequency bands. The Radar will be mounted on a drone flying under 400 ft AGL and its flights will be approved by base officials. Stop Buzzer for this project: Spencer Prows 608-358-8051; Adam Robertson 801-762-7263 Testing needs to begin end of February
