Please explain the purpose of operation: |
To test array compliance to RF performance requirements in a relevant environment.
Frequency authorization is being requested for the period of May 22, 2017 - November 10, 2017 in X-band at frequencies between 9.35 - 9.45 GHz, in order to test prototype radar arrays in a relevant environment. Outdoor testing, across multiple frequencies as noted above is required to assess hardware compliance with requirements and to continue research and development. This system is capable of serving multiple surveillance roles including primary radar aircraft and weather surveillance for aircraft operations, general weather surveillance for a variety of tasks including severe weather detection and warning, and wind turbine clutter mitigation, etc.
