Last Name: Hicks
First Name: Dan
Title: Senior EW Consultant
Phone Number: 5406237175

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
(U) There currently exists a critical problem in our nations ability to conduct operations against peer adversaries. Two limitations exist for our current tactical networks which prevent the collaboration needed to optimize the effectiveness of various DoD missions. The requested STA is for the use of datalink radios aboard a special mission Learjet within 50KM of the AFRL Stockbridge, NY Test Site.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  (U) The DoD Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) DyNAMO Program culminates as a field experiment in the October 2020 through March 2021 time frame. (U) The DyNAMO technology has the ability to support Digital Interoperability (DI) across multiple tactical data links (e.g., TTNT, CDL while providing scalable information at the right time. In addition, Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) Plans, Policies and Operations (PP&O) Department (LtGen Beaudrault) signed a TRACA Urgent Needs Statement (UNS) document in June 2019 that listed DyNAMO interoperability needs. This UNS document referenced DyNAMO capabilities that were also previously listed as a POM-22 gap that identifies the need for Integration of Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Command and Control (C2) Systems across Naval and Joint C2 needs. The DyNAMO (Dynamic Network Adaptation of Mission Optimization) Program is planning a test with legacy radio systems to include the QNT-200C Radio to test new interoperability technologies. The test is planned to be conducted on unclassified test networks based at the AFRL-Rome (Stockbridge, NY) Site and aboard a test aircraft based from the Griffiss Airfield. This testing effort will be a combined air and ground test during various dates beginning early October 2020. There will be one aviation platform, a Learjet 35A aircraft utilized per the AFRL/RY Rome contract number FA-8750-16-C-0197.
