Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Raytheon Integrated Systems (IDS) Radar development testing. Frequency authorization is being requested for the period of August 15, 2021- February 15, 2022 in Xband at frequencies between 9.35 – 9.45 GHz and 9.55 - 9.65 GHz, in order to test prototype radar arrays in a relevant environment. Outdoor testing, across multiple frequencies as noted above is required to assess hardware compliance with requirements and to continue research and development. Testing will demonstrate a Low Power X-Band Radar network providing 3D target tracking and weather detection. Ultimate goal is to replace existing rotating radars and to support mitigation of Windfarm clutter, UAS operations, and mitigate DoD and DHS capability gaps.
