Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Demonstrating the capabilities of an advanced air-to ground radar for eventual use by U.S. government customers. Special Temporary Authorization is being requested for this system to allow Raytheon Company to perform demonstration and development on the Raytheon Multi-Purpose Testbed (Boeing 727 aircraft owned by Raytheon). The Capri program is developing, demonstrating maturing advanced air-to ground radar capabilities for eventual use by U.S. government customers. The Capri system is a wide band (> 1 GHz) experimental radar characterized by a 300 watt peak power transmitter (60watts average power) and a highly directional antenna (> 35db gain). The radar energy is distributed approximately uniformly throughout the transmission bandwidth. The radar is operated with pulsed waveforms modulated using linear FM and/ or phase encoding. The purpose of the experiments is to characterize basic phenomenology and measure performance of waveforms and pulse encoding schemes in a wide bandwidth, KU band system. To include the operations of altitude 5,000 to 35,000 ft.
