                                                                                     Exhibit 1


1.     Introduction

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

2.     Purpose of the Operation

        The requested STA will authorize operation of a radio being developed by Leidos
suitable for maritime data transfer applications. Operations will be conducted at the request of
the US Navy, in support of the Navy’s Advanced Naval Technology Exercise (ANTX 2018).
The prototype radio is not FCC certified, and therefore Leidos seeks an STA for this
demonstration. The tests are planned to run over the course of several days, spread out over a
month period. This Application describes the following types of transmissions:

       Shore-Based Temporary –Fixed Transmissions

               Shore-based transmissions will originate from temporary-fixed locations within
               8.05 km (5 miles) of the specified centerpoint coordinates at 30-19-50 N.Lat; 089-
               11-32 W.Long.

       Off-Shore Mobile Transmissions

               Off-shore mobile transmissions will originate from the R/V Pathfinder, a 40’
               systems research vessel owned and operated by Leidos, , within 92.6 km (50
               nautical miles) of the specified centerpoint coordinates at 29-35-45 N.Lat; 088-
               42-15 W.Long.

       A waiver of the Station ID requirements of 47 CFR §5.115(a) is respectfully requested.

3.     Directionality/Orientation

       Although a “Yes” reply has been inserted on the form indicating a directional antenna,
This experiment may involve the use of an omnidirectional antenna as well as a directional
antenna.

     In the event that an omnidirectional antenna is employed, such antenna will be used at
2W Output Power/2W ERP, as specified on the application.

       In the event that a directional antenna is employed, such antenna will be used at 16W
Output Power/16W ERP, as specified on the application, and the following information will
apply:

       Beamwidth in degrees:          25 degrees in azimuth; 56 degrees in elevation

                                                 1


4.     Stop Buzzer

        Leidos is well aware of its obligation under Commission rules to immediately terminate
operation in the event of interference to any other licensed emitter. Leidos is a long-standing
Commission licensee and the company will take any and all actions to ensure that it complies
with its obligations as a licensee of experimental facilities. The Stop Buzzer in the event of
interference is:

              EC Helme – 401-688-5618
