Subject: Request for Confidentiality

FCC File Numbers: 0697-EX-CN-2018
To Whom It May Concern,

We request under 47 CFR 0.459 that the exhibits submitted to the Federal Communications
Commission for the following file numbers be withheld from public inspection indefinitely.

       File Number: 0697-EX-CN-2018
       Call Sign: TBD
       Exhibits titled: Request for an Experimental License

Below are statements addressing items (1) through (9) of 47 CFR 0.459(b):

(1) Identification of the specific information for which confidential treatment is sought;
        - The application contains data such as power level, antenna location, duty factor, pulse
        width, and modulation type that is considered sensitive export controlled information per
        direction of the United States Air Force (USAF) customer.

(2) Identification of the Commission proceeding in which the information was submitted or a
description of the circumstances giving rise to the submission;
        - An experimental license is being requested to conduct developmental testing and
        demonstrations.

(3) Explanation of the degree to which the information is commercial or financial, or contains a trade
secret or is privileged;
        - The information is privileged as export controlled because it identifies key radar design
        parameters sensitive to the USAF customer.

(4) Explanation of the degree to which the information concerns a service that is subject to
competition;
        - The information is important to the USAF customer and their mission as it relates to the
        current and future products we are developing.

(5) Explanation of how disclosure of the information could result in substantial competitive harm;
        - Our competitors may be able to use the information to their benefit by incorporating similar
        aspects into their design, or to hinder our efforts to obtain competitive contracts. The end
        result might be harmful to our company and give our competitors an unfair advantage.

(6) Identification of any measures taken by the submitting party to prevent unauthorized disclosure;
        - The submitted information has the appropriate distribution statement, export control
        marking, and destruction notice.

(7) Identification of whether the information is available to the public and the extent of any previous
disclosure of the information to third parties;
        - The specific information has never been available to the public.

(8) Justification of the period during which the submitting party asserts that material should not be
available for public disclosure; and
        - We request that the information be withheld from public disclosure indefinitely as it is
sensitive export controlled data.

(9) Any other information that the party seeking confidential treatment believes may be useful in
assessing whether its request for confidentiality should be granted.
        - None


Sincerely,




Richard Lockrem
