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 Dugway Proving Grounds (DPG) Spectrum Management Office has been initiated.
