Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
This STA is necessary for the accomplishment of a DOE/FAA ASR-4 Radar test against unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) with a background of windmill turnbine generators. This test will be conducted SSW of the King Mountain TX ASR radar sight.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Testing for FAA The purpose of this DOE/FAA test is to determine the abilities of the FAA radar system to detect small objects against the back drop of windmill turbines. NMSU has several UAS and has been asked to fly our Orbiter UAS (8foot wingspan) as part of the test.

Is a directional antenna (other than radar) used?   No
Exhibit submitted:   No
(a) Width of beam in degrees at the half-power point:  
(b) Orientation in horizontal plane:  
(c) Orientation in vertical plane:  
Will the antenna extend more than 6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building, will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other than a building?   No
(a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters:  
(b) Elevation of ground at antenna site above mean sea level in meters:  
(c) Distance to nearest aircraft landing area in kilometers:  
(d) List any natural formations of existing man-made structures (hills, trees, water tanks, towers, etc.) which, in the opinion of the applicant, would tend to shield the antenna from aircraft: Ground Control Station will be on a mesa (hill) and be controlleing the UAS both visual and RF line-of-sight. There are large wind mill turbines in the area, but noe will be in between the ground control station and the UAS during flight. Additionally, the turbines being i the background will be part of the radar tes. The UAS will not fly within a 1/2 mile of the turbines to ensure safety of flight.
