Why an Experimental License is Necessary:
An experimental license is required to operate various radars to support ongoing National Air
Space (NAS) integration tests. This license will replace the operations currently approved under
FCC call sign WL9XYG and file numbers 1534-EX-ST-2017 and 1589-EX-ST-2017.

Operation Description:

This test will support 2 radar systems and the command and control system on a manned aircraft
using a VHF frequency for discrete flight test communications. Operations at Ackerman, MS
will utilize a manned aircraft while operations at Watford ND are unmanned.
