Last Name: Laverentz
First Name: Jennifer
Title: Administrative Manager
Phone Number: 785-864-7722

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The purpose of this experiment is to test the performance of an ultra-wideband radar system when operated on board the Vanilla Unmanned VA001 aircraft (https://vanillaunmanned.com/). The radar system will transmit a waveform in the S and C bands, with its antennas looking towards the nadir direction. This work is funded through a grant from NASA to study sea ice in the Artic.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  These flights will be a test flight to ascertain if the complete system is working prior to a full deployment in Alaska in October 2021.

Information
Callsign: WR9XZI
Class of Station: MO
Nature of Service: Experimental

Requested Period of Operation
Operation Start Date: 06/15/2021
Operation End Date: 09/30/2021

Manufacturer
List below transmitting equipment to be installed (if experimental, so state) if additional rows are required, please submit equipment list as an exhibit:
