We currently need to begin testing of our Precision Approach Radar (PAR) system for a current customer and request the granting of STA licenses to begin said test. The operation of this station is necessary to perform the contractual testing and pattern measurement requirements of our customers. For your reference, this radar system uses the same antenna that we established with the FCC under the Call Sign: WQJV553 (File # 0004368201). The FCC requested we re-file this license under the OET. Thus, we are treating this system as a new license. ITT Exelis will honor all conditions that may be necessary to prevent interference with any existing equipment. For detailed FAA blanking requirements, refer to NGT-Blanking attached document. For two of our attachments (Exhibit A and Exhibit B) we are requesting Long-Term Confidentiality in reference to Section 0.457(d) and 0.459 of the FCC Rules as the authority for this confidentiality request. Exhibit A (Exhibit_A_PAR_ Descrip.pdf) which describes general information, operational and functional description contains technical data which is monitored and regulated by US Government Rules and Regulations. This data is regulated by the Department of Commerce under Export Administrations Regulations (EAR) or by the State Department under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). This data is not publicly available, is only released to our customers for maintenance/service of their ITT systems and only under appropriate export authorization. The document is marked as USG Export Controlled. Exhibit B (Exhibit_B_PAR_Sensor.pdf) is ITT Proprietary controlled data and is marked on the drawing in order to protect developed ITT design and data of our radar systems from competitors both domestic and foreign.
