Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Silvus Technologies has a Small Business Innovation Research Phase II contract from the US Air Force (Contract # FA8750-13-C-0043). Under this contract Silvus needs to tests its SC-3800 MIMO radios at ranges up to 200kms between airborne assets. Silvus is planning to rent Cessna aircrafts from the Long Beach Airport and fly them over the Los Angeles basin. The frequency band of operation will be 435-445 MHz. The maximum transmit power is 1 Watt.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose of operation for scientific research and development that is of potential use to the United States Air Force.

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.
