Give the following information of person who can best handle inquiries pertaining to this application:   Last Name: McCandless First Name: Sean Title: Technical Staff Phone Number: 781-981-9290

Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: The experiment and data collection will last less than six months (Feb-June 2017)

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

MIT Lincoln Laboratory develops Cyber-Electromagnetic capabilities for the Department of Defense. MIT Lincoln Laboratory develops Cyber-Electromagnetic capabilities for the Department of Defense. MIT Lincoln Laboratory develops Cyber-Electromagnetic capabilities for the Department of Defense. In order to have a successful transition to the warfighter, we need to thoroughly test and evaluate our developed techniques and technologies including realistic operational environments such as over-the-air and flight-testing. Bluebolt is one such capability that is investigating Link-11 communication system and requires over-the-air and flight-testing. Bluebolt, which is scheduled to be demonstrated at the NORTHERN EDGE 2017 military exercise in May 2017, will require advance testing starting in March 2017 to ensure a successful event
