Why an Experimental License is Necessary:
A Special Temporary Authorization is required to operate in the Ku and C frequency bands to
support short duration National Air Space (NAS) integration tests.

Operation Description:

This test will support a Ku frequency band ground surveillance radar system 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.
