Please explain the purpose of operation: |
The requested STA will authorize operation of a radio being developed by Leidos
suitable for maritime data transfer applications, as well as an experimental radio, manufactured
by Kongsberg Seatex AS, whose function is also maritime data transfer. Operations will be
conducted in support of a demonstration of autonomous bathymetric data collection (mapping of
the sea floor), wherein data is transmitted in real-time, via the aforementioned radios, to a shorebased
display and operator station. Having access to these transmitting facilities will allow
Leidos to refine its autonomous operations while also returning bathymetric data ashore,
immediately after collection, in near real-time. These prototype radios are not FCC certified, and
therefore Leidos seeks an STA for these operations.
