Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The Prototype Demonstration System (PDS) Radar is planned to be operated at Raytheons Integrated Air Defense Center (IADC) in Andover, MA, over the period of June 1st to November 30th, 2010. Unless Raytheon is granted authorization to operate the PDS radar and demonstrate to our customer that our concept and technologies are viable we will not be selected to participate in the next phase of the program.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

To demonstrate the operation of a prototype radar system using 3.1-3.4 GHz. Frequency authorization is being requested for the period of June 1 - November 30, 2010 in the 3.1 GHz to 3.4 GHz band in order to demonstrate the operation of a prototype radar system. This radar demonstration is critical to Raytheons winning a next phase proposal since it is intended to show maturity of key technologies designed and developed by Raytheon. It is Raytheons view that these technologies set Raytheon apart from our competitors so it is essential that performance is demonstrated in a radar environment similar to the proposed radar system. The window of opportunity to include the results of these demonstrations in the next phase proposal for consideration by our customer closes in November. Several months of trials and dry runs must be performed before this deadline to ensure success. An experimental license is required to demonstrate the operation of a prototype radar system to our customer. Starting in March, transmit measurements will be made at low power CW. These measurements will be conducted in accordance with Raytheons current experimental license, call sign KI2XGC. The CW operating frequencies will be between 3.1 - 3.4 GHz. Following these CW tests, a prototype radar system will be installed and tested using the same radar apertures. The purpose of this system is to demonstrate that key technologies associated with a major radar system capture effort are at a sufficient level of maturity. The prototype radar demonstration trials and dry runs are planned from June 1st to November 30th. Formal demonstrations for the customer will be conducted between August and November. The system will transmit either pulsed Linear FM (LF) 100 kHz, pulsed LFM 300 kHz, or pulsed unmodulated carriers in the 3.1 - 3.4 GHz band. The pulse duration is fixed at 2.45 ms and the duty factor is 30%. It is expected that the radar will be nominally operated for periods of 20 min per day. An option to repeat the CW measurements at high ERP is also being requested. These measurements would require CW operation for several days during the month of June. Two attachments accompany this application. One is a summary document with additional details and the other is power density calculations evaluating aircraft susceptibility and personnel exposure.

Certification

Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
