Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
SES is developing a vehicle-based platform that will support antennas capable of communicating with SES’s Ka-band spectrum satellites operated in non-geostationary orbit by O3b Limited. The vehicle will be at a complete stop (vs. communications on the move) when communicating with the satellite(s). SES is seeking experimental authority to demonstrate and assess the use of these antennas to support various applications including disaster response, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance technologies and other applications designed to support US Government and non-governmental organizations.
