Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Raytheon seeks this STA in order to allow testing and technical demonstrations of the ground mobile FAAST Phase Array antenna with the Inmarsat-4F2 satellite, as well as demonstrating performance of the FAAST Phase Array Antenna/HNS Broadband modem system to prospective buyers, within the Department of Defense (DoD), Homeland Defense, and commercial markets.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Testing and demonstrating the performance of the FAAST Phase Array Antenna/HNS Broadband modem system with the Inmarsat-4F2 satellite. Raytheon Network Centric Systems (NCS) has been developing a compact high gain active phase array antenna designed for operation with the Inmarsat Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN) system. The Raytheon antenna has been named the Formed Array Antenna SATCOM Technology (FAAST) antenna. This FAAST antenna is designed to interface with an Inmarsat SATCOM modem manufactured by Hughes that has also been approved by the FCC as detailed below. We are planning to conduct testing and demonstrations during 2006/2007 with the Inmarsat-4F2 BGAN Satellite from both fixed ground and mobile ground platforms from various locations within the United States. Inmarsat, Inc. has received a Nationwide Mobile FCC Experimental Radio Station Construction Permit and License: File Number: 0708-EX-PL-2006 Class of Station: XD MO Station Locations: MOBILE: Dalgren, VA Effective: 6/18/07 Expiration: 6/21/07 By its application, Inmarsat sought authority to operate four different types of mobile earth terminals in conjunction with the Inmarsat-4F2 satellite in order to allow Inmarsat, its manufacturers, distributors, and resellers to: (i) conduct technical demonstrations and testing of BGAN service and these terminals to ensure that performance is in accordance with design specifications; (ii) demonstrate performance of the terminals to prospective purchasers; and (iii) perform limited market studies. Hughes of Germantown, MD has received an Equipment Authorization for a Licensed Non-Broadcast Station Transmitter under FCC Part 25 as a Broadband Satellite IP Modem with Emission Designator D1W and FCC Identifier K3YHNS9201. The Raytheon FAAST active phase array antenna will be connected to the HNS 9201 Broadband Satellite IP Modem, replacing the fixed beam antenna that is integral to the HNS 9201 modem. The FAAST Phase Array antenna will be the transmit/receive antenna for the HNS modem as it communicates with the Inmarsat-4F2 satellite during our desired demonstrations and tests.
