Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Northrop Grumman Space & Mission Systems Corp (NGST) requests an 180-day extension of the grant of Special Temporary Authority (STA) under Call Sign WC9XWF (File No. 0045-EX-ST-2007), which authorizes NGST to operate airborne mobile and fixed-ground experimental radio station facilities in order to demonstrate a Wideband Networking Waveform (WNW) digital command and control network for the U.S. Army at the Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona. NGST must coordinate with the multiple parties and schedules in order undertake the demonstrations and the delay in the Commission?s grant of the STA has caused scheduling problems. NGST is seeking a full 180-day extension of the STA only out of an abundance of caution in case it encounters further scheduling issues for the demonstrations, but expects to be able to conclude its demonstrations in a few months.
