Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
To test the low weight, low power radar sensor prototype. This radar device was designed to detect micro- and small-drones, with possible applications in counter-drone systems and sense-and-avoid drone systems. Counter-drone systems are urgently needed in defence and consumer industries. Sense-and-avoid systems with radar sensors enable drones to detect and avoid other airborne vehicles, allowing them to safely fly. We will need to perform testing and demonstrations at two locations, one near Quantico, VA, the other near Columbus, NC.
