Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: The Low Power Radar (LPR) is planned to be operated at the Raytheon Facilities in Dalles, WA over the period of March 24, 2014 – September 24, 2014. The purpose of this request for Special Temporary Authorization is to demonstrate the maturity of our system concept and technology to the customer.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

FAA Frequency Coordination was made with Daniel ORear; ATO Western Service Area 9148.5 MHZ NG T140139 9151.25 MHZ NG T140140 Radar Demonstration. Frequency authorization is being requested for the period of March 24, 2014 – September 24, 2014 in the 9.15 GHz band in order to demonstrate the operation of a prototype radar system. This radar demonstration is intended to show maturity of key technologies designed and developed by Raytheon. It is essential that radar performance be demonstrated in a real-time radar environment similar to the proposed radar system. Testing in real-time environments with realistic target profiles is needed to fully prepare for a demonstration to the customer.
