Applicant certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.

Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
During Bold Quest Exercise Raytheon will conduct developmental testing and evaluation on the radar system Most of the time, programmed search scanning is within the vertical region of 0 to 15 degrees,covering a vertical sector of sequential beams in about 13 milliseconds.
Special Temporary Authority application - Information
Callsign:
WK9XGV
Class of Station:
FX
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
During Bold Quest Exercise Raytheon will conduct testing and developing definitions of Vertical Scan Type, Vertical Scan Speed, and Vertical Scan Rate as applied to this antenna with software adapted electronic beam scanning. The basic operation of the antenna is mechanical rotation in azimuth, at a selectable 20 rpm or 30 rpm. In addition, the antenna beam can be scanned in azimuth electronically over +/- 45 degrees from its instant physical position. The antenna beam can be electronically scanned in elevation from – 10 degrees to + 55 degrees. Electronic scanning can take place to any angle within the azimuth and elevation limits from one transmission dwell to the next. Each dwell transmitted at one beam position lasts for time durations in the region from 0.7 to 4 milliseconds, and the transition to the next dwell at any other azimuth/elevation position is 10 microseconds. So, the maximum scan speed could be 90 degrees per 10 microseconds.
