                  Application for Special Temporary Authority


        Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (NGSC) applies for Special Temporary
Authority (STA) for the purpose of developing and testing future S-Band shipboard
navigation radar. The radar hardware is based on a software-defined solidstate
transceiver and a mechanically rotated active patch-array antenna. This hardware is
designed to meet the following standards:

                              47CFR80.273(a) Radar installations on board ships that are
                              required by the Safety Conventions or the U.S. Coast
                              Guard to be equipped with radar.
                              ITU-R M.1177-4 (2011)
                              ITU-R SM.329 -12 (2012)
                              ITU-R SM.1541-06 (2015)
                              IMO MSC.192(79) (2005), IEC 62388 Ed.2 (2013).
                The radar is capable of sector blanking. For the purposes of this test, the
radar will be located at the Northrop Grumman facility near Annapolis, MD, lat/lon 39-0-
21N; 76-24-28W. The desired search sector is due south of the fixed location, with an
azimuth limited to 165 to 195 degrees true. If necessary, an alternate azimuth could be
centered on 80 degrees true, with a sector scan of +/- 15 degrees. This is not as desirable
from a program standpoint in that it does not provide the required search range over
water.
