Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The STA will enable Fortem Technologies to test its low weight, low power prototype radar in order to refine its design prior to requesting further licensing. We were advised by the FCC and FAA to test at 15.4-15.7 GHz which is allocated for Aeronautical Radionavigation. We have more testing to complete in this frequency band before we apply for FCC certification and licenses for our product. This is necessary to support work we are currently doing UDoT to monitor the airspace, detect and avoid, drones and manned aircraft within their propertys airspace.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  To test its low weight, low power prototype radar on drones. This ultra-small SWaP-C radar has been designed to enable UAVs to detect and avoid other airborne vehicles, thus allowing them to safely fly Beyond Line of Sight. We will need to perform testing near our new company headquarters in Pleasant Grove, Ut and at other selected sites for demos to government and other entities. This testing will be directed by the engineering team which joined Fortem Technologies when the technology was purchased from IMSAR; the team has managed STA and Experimental Licenses in the past.
