Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
GA with partners in the mining community seeks to develop an accurate, consistent and effective ranging technology for tracking mine personnel and moving equipment not only for collision avoidance, but also to help achieve compliance with the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act) (PL 109-236). Such technology is intended to assist in safe operations of enormous haul trucks in the vicinity of ground personnel, as well as providing collision detection assistance for all haul truck operations. The goal of such equipment development is to provide truck operators the ability to detect persons and vehicles within the vicinity of the entire truck and to so notify truck operators so collisions can be avoided.See Exhibit for details

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Use of ultra wideband technologies for accurate, consistent and effective ranging technology for tracking mine personnel and moving equipment. The goal of such equipment development is to provide truck operators the ability to detect persons and vehicles within the vicinity of the entire truck and to so notify truck operators so collisions can be avoided. See Exhibit for details
