Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
This is for developmental systems before formal approval and formal tests. WaveSense is working on a new autonomous vehicle lanekeeping safety sensor that works in snow and fog and where current approaches fail. It may also improve current lanekeeping failure rates by several orders of magnitude when integrated even in clear weather conditions. Specifically, this sensor is a new type of ground penetrating radar (Localizing GPR) developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory and licensed for commercial use by WaveSense. The resulting lives saved and injuries prevented may be significant. As testing is required to determine if any modifications are viable for localization, we at WaveSense, including the former PI of the MIT Lincoln Laboratory Program, are asking for a limited duration commercial focused STA to test developmental systems as we prepare for formal part 15 subpart F compliance testing.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Develop and test new sensor designs. This is a request such that we can develop and test new sensor designs.The power levels are at or below part 15 subpart F field strengths. Testing will include driving on roadways, test areas, parking lots, and similar automotive accessible spaces in a range of conditions to test modifications to the radar antenna and transceiver. Operations may involve a contracted partner organization as appropriate.

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.
