                                     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

       Leidos wishes to test functionality and evaluate the performance of the Rockwell Collins VHF-22C
multichannel VHF voice transceiver and AN/ARC-210 radio, Harris AN/PRC-117G multiband radio, and
Honeywell HF-1050 radio that are installed on Leidos’ de Havilland dash-8 aircraft.

         The proposed operation – comprised of both ground-based and airborne transmissions – will be used to
test the mobile aircraft mounted communications suite for system reliability and performance. This STA will
support Leidos’ integration, testing and fielding of the communications systems into multiple aircraft that are
directly supporting DOD operations worldwide. The intended purpose of this experiment is to prove operability
and performance, pursuant to government contract requirements.

       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

     1.    Bridgewater, VA:

           Ground based transmissions conducted will be located at the test area center point at
           38°22’00” N; 78°57’37”W, on a radius of 1km about the center point. Ground elevation
           above sea level at the center point coordinates is 355.1m at this location. The antenna will
           be no more than 5 meters above ground level when transmitting from the ground.

     2.    Manassas VA:

           Ground based transmissions conducted will be located at the test area center point at
           38°43’15” N; 77°30’54.36”W, on a radius of 1km about the center point. Ground
           elevation above sea level at the center point coordinates is 58.6m at this location. The
           antenna will be no more than 5 meters above ground level when transmitting from the
           ground.

B.   Airborne Transmissions

     1.    Airborne Operations Around Bridgewater VA Ground Location:

           Mobile airborne transmissions conducted within a flight pattern centered on the test area
           center point at 38°22’00” N; 78°57’37”W, with the furthest waypoints lying on a radius
           of 370km about the center point. The maximum flight ceiling planned is 4572m (15,000
           feet) above ground level (AGL) (range will be from 14-15,000 ft). Ground elevation
