PURPOSE
This request is being submitted to support a short duration command and control link test. This Special
Temporary Authorization request is required to test and operate a command and control data link in the
S-Band.

OPERATIONS DESCRIPTION
The equipment will be installed in a Ground Control Station (GCS), and provide a command and control
link from the GCS to the aircraft. Initial testing will be at Bingen, WA on the ground, followed up with
airborne UAS testing at Boardman, OR, and then long range tests where the GCS will be located at
various ground sites communicating with an airborne UAV flying in Boardman airspace. The equipment
utilizes a small set of preset frequencies with limited flexibility in frequency selection.

EQUIPMENT
Command and Control (Ground Station)
      Manufacturer:       Freewave Technologies
      Frequency Band:     2306-2314 MHz for Boardman airborne use and all ground locations
                          2310-2314 MHz alternative frequency set for Boardman airborne use
                          and all ground locations (less desirable)
                          (See Frequency Hopping Preset Frequency List below)
      Emission:           230KF1D
      Transmit Output:    5 Watts
      Power:              6.6 kilo Watts ERP
      Antenna Gain:       33.3 dBi
      Antenna Type:       2.7 Meter Parabolic Reflector
      Note:               Antenna beam width is 3.3 degrees. Antenna will be pointing at aircraft
                          flying in Boardman, OR, airspace.

Command and Control (Mobile Airborne)
     Manufacturer:         Freewave Technologies

                           and all ground locations (less desirable)
                           (See Frequency Hopping Preset Frequency List below)
     Emission:             230KF1D
     Transmit Output:      2 Watts
     Power:                3.2 Watts ERP
     Antenna Gain:         5 dBi
     Antenna Type:         Omnidirectional Dipole antenna
