Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We are participating in a demonstration of Coalition Assured Autonomous Last Mile Resupply (CAAR) equipment at Camp Grayling Michigan for 3 weeks during August and are requesting temporary permission to use our radio data link between our mobile ground based Operator Control Station (OCS) and a VIKING Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV)
Special Temporary Authority application - Information
Class of Station:
MO
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
As part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) and US Department of Defense (DoD) Coalition Assured Autonomous Resupply (CAAR) Collaboration , the CAAR Capstone Event, to be held between 12th – 29th August 2019, at Camp Grayling, Michigan, comprises a period of experimentation and demonstration of UK and US tactical logistic autonomous systems. The CAAR Capstone demonstration event (28th August 2019) is attracting senior military and civilian personnel from both the US and UK governments. We will be demonstrating our VIKING Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) driving scenarios withing approximately an 8km x 8km area at Camp Grayling. This experimental licence application is for our data link which carries live video, telemetry data and command and control for the vehicle. The datalink radios are 2W L Band NETNode-4R NETNode IP Mesh Radio Phase 4 (Robust) from Domo Tactical Communications Ltd. and is COFDM and tunable between 1.14 GHz and 1.5 GHz it can provide up to 14.6Mbps data within a bandwidth up to 10MHz. We are requesting temporary operation centered on 1280 MHz but could accept another center frequency if this is not possible / available. The vehicle mounted antenna will be approximately 6ft Above Ground Level (AGL) and the Operator Control Station (OCS) mast up to 35 feet AGL. We have also filled out a DoD form DD1494 and submitted that to Camp Grayling for local frequency deconfliction with their other activities. The transceivers will be operated within 4km of 44°3635.7N 84°5057.1W = 44.609925, -84.849187.
