KRFS Experimental License Modification Request

1 Purpose of Operation
Modification: to add Tucson, Arizona and Fort Sill, Ok location WF2XXY callsign
Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) to KRFS Multi-Function RF System
(Radar). This application is to demonstrate this system as an Unmanned Platform
- File Number: 0045-EX-CM-2017
- Station Locations: FIXED
- Effective: 02/12/2017
- Expiration: 02/11/2019
Note: The KRFS is designed to operate over specific frequency ranges within the range
of 15.71 to 17.71 GHz. Specific operating modes are confined to the specific bands as
follows:
- 15.71 to 17.71 GHz Radar: C-RAM
- 15.71 to 17.71 GHz Missile Illumination

2 Experimental Explanation
As detailed in paragraph 1 above, Raytheon seeks this STA in order to allow testing and
technical demonstrations of the KRFS System (Radar).
3. The modulation techniques per mode are listed in the table below.

Mode Modulation PRF Pulsewidth Modulation Rate
Radar : C-RAM Pulse. Bi-Phase or 5 KHz – 200 0.2 – 40.0 usec 20 MHz
Polyphase KHz
Missile Illumination FSK 33Hz 2.5 ms

(Clear)

The peak and mean power per mode are listed in the table below. Because the antenna
is an AESA, the peak power levels are specified at the external face of the radome but
do not include the antenna gain.
