Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We will be conducting an experiment for United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate innovative technologies such as the situation awareness of RF emitters in the field to various Special Operations Forces (SOF) operators that have the potential to provide enhanced capabilities to SOF warfighters. We will be conducting this experiment for very short duration (4 days) at MUTC (Butlerville), IN site.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Test and experiment capability of Cognitive networked electronic warfare software system. Test and experiment capability of Cognitive networked electronic warfare software system in detecting, identifying, locating and determining friend/foe/neutral of all RF emitters - VHF PTT Baofeng UV-5R handie-talkie and UHF PTT IC-V82 transcievers present in the field of view. For locating we use QNT L-Band and C-Band transmitters to perform radio frequency direction finding (RFDF) using two sets of QNT L Band / C-Band transmitters, networked via RF, to process geolocation of emitters (handie-talkie) operating in the unlicensed VHF (144-148 MHz) and UHF (462-467 MHz) spectrum. C Band is used for operator (chat) coordination. L-Band 16-channel tuning range: Band 1 = 1763.167 MHz - 1841.833 MHz (1763.167 MHz, 1776.500 MHz, 1789.833 MHz, 1803.166 MHz, 1815.167 MHz, 1828.500 MHz, 1841.833 MHz). Emission designator: 14M6G1D. Can operate in non-frequency (NH) or frequency hopped (FH) on single channel or all the channels. Initial contact is established at 25 watts, and then reduced to the minimum level required to maintain reliable communications, in 2dB steps from full scale to -30 dB (25W down to 25mW). C-Band (4.4 GHz to 4.9 GHz); Emission designator: 18M5F9W; system can operate NH on any single assigned center frequency or FH on any number of assigned center frequency. VHF emitters radiate 7 watts and UHF emitters radiate 4 watts.

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.
