Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Applicant seeks authority to operate the identified equipment in order to test 1) test proof of concept and system verification to support anticipated future operational needs and 2) channel characterization. We do not anticipate that the testing will require more than a few months; accordingly, an STA is an appropriate licensing mechanism. This research is being conducted in anticipation of entering into a contract with the United States Government/DARPA for additional equipment design and demonstration.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Testing is designed to occur during two testing periods of up to 4 hours a day for 3-5 days within a week. We expect several weeks of total testing to validate the proof of concept and system functionality. An individual tests consists of transmissions of up to 30 minutes. Within an individual test, we expect to switch among bands (UHF, S, and X) multiple times a minute to understand channel performance characteristics. The frequencies requested in the current STA cover the frequencies that a USG operator would require in post-production use.
