Please explain the purpose of operation: |
To test prototype radar arrays in a relevant environment.
Frequency authorization is being requested for the period of August 1, 2016 - January 23, 2017 in X-band at frequencies between 9.55-9.65 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. Up to two units will be tested over this range simultaneously.
