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

OPERATIONS DESCRIPTION
The system will be installed in a Ground Control Station, and provide 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 a long range test will start at Wasco Butte where the GCS will be
located and a Cessna flying east up to 200 km LOS. For this range flight the Cessna may have to fly at
altitudes up to 12,000 feet.

EQUIPMENT
Command and Control (Ground Station)
      Manufacturer:       Freewave Technologies
      Frequency Band:     2305-2314 MHz
      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 directed in the
                          direction of +78 degrees +/- 5 mile corridor. This RF link will be used to
                          control a simulated UAV located inside a manned Cessna aircraft up to
                          200 km away.
