Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
General Dynamics has created prototype units of a new satcom system ready to be installed for testing, demonstration and training to the U.S. Signal Corps at Fort Gordon, GA by the end of this week. Two of these prototype systems have already been provided to the U.S. military for use in Iraq, and orders for 25 more have already been accepted. General Dynamics anticipates that the STA will be required for a period of time less than 6 months, until an application for experimental authorization has been filed and granted.
