                               PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

         By the instant application (“Application”), Leidos, Inc. (“Leidos”) requests that the
Commission grant Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) to permit Leidos to operate the
facilities specified in the instant application.

1.      Purpose of Operation
         This STA will support Leidos’ integration, testing and fielding of the L3 VORTEX
system in multiple aircraft that will directly support the warfighter in combat zones
worldwide. The VORTEX system is a compact, secure, highly capable multi-use transceiver. It is
capable of simultaneous dual-band transmission through the use of multiple waveforms. Its
intended purpose is to transfer analog or digital information from sensor to shooter via an increased
level of interoperability and flexibility. VORTEX is interoperable with ROVER, CDL, and
virtually all UAV's, targeting pods and other waveforms. Testing pursuant to this STA will occur at
and around McClellan Air Force Base.
        Waiver of the Station ID rules set forth at Section 5.115 is respectfully requested.

        The applicable government contract information is as follows;

        A.      Ground-Based Transmissions

        Temporary fixed ground-based operations within 1 km radius around the test area center
point coordinates at: 38°40’4” N; 121°24’2”W.

        B.      Airborne Transmissions

         Mobile airborne transmissions conducted within a flight pattern centered on the test area
center point at 38°40’4” N; 121°24’2”W, with the furthest waypoints lying on a radius of 200km
about the center point. The maximum flight ceiling planned is 5485 m (18,000 feet) above
ground level (AGL). Ground elevation above sea level at the center point coordinates is 23.40m
at this location. The nearest airport to the center point coordinates is within 9.7 km from the
center point coordinates.
