Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
An STA is necessary to prove the feasibility of a target tracking and identification technology to be conducted under contract HDTRA1-13-C-0053 with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, through the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). The Government contract POC is Thomas McKnight, 703-767-2885. After review, the FAA conditionally concurred with this use but the necessity has changed from long term to only short term so this new STA Application is intended to replace file no. 0096-EX-PL-2015.
