Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
This request for Special Temporary Authority (STA) is submitted pursuant to 47 CFR 5.61 to request band licenses for command, control and payload data of an Unmanned Air System (UAS) developed by Textron Systems. Frequency coordination with Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG) Spectrum Management Office has been initiated. Local frequency assignments will be controlled by YPG personnel based on FCC issued band licenses herein requested. YPG spectrum management requires FCC approved band licenses for assigning test day frequencies that deconflict with other YPG managed operations.
Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
To request band licenses for command, control and payload data of an Unmanned Air System (UAS). Textron Systems, in coordination with YPG, plans a series of performance test flights of the model A5000, an Unmanned Air System (UAS) that makes use of a hybrid architecture of proven technology. This hybrid architecture is from three Textron Systems UAS platforms; Shadow M2, Shadow 200 and Aerosonde. Key technologies/systems include the M2 airframe, Shadow 200 flight controller and the Aerosonde datalinks and ground control system. Planned testing at YPG focuses on completing the integration efforts necessary to qualify the hybrid system utilizing an iterative approach to ensure flight safety and system performance. The attached letter provides additional details.
