Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We are executing a US defense contract under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. This contract is FA8620-18-C-3004 (Dominican Republic ISR Tecnam P2006T Integration) and is managed by the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (USAF/AFMC/AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. This contract directs us to procure and integrate an Italian-origin synthetic aperture radar (TS20 Skyhawk SAR RADAR System) manufactured by Leonardo onto a small aircraft for ultimate end-use by the Dominican Republic Air Force. Our contract requires us to integrate and test this radar system on-board the aircraft for both FAA airworthiness certification and basic operational testing of its capabilities, in the continental USA before final delivery to the Dominican Republic air force (FARD). A previous STA (0533-EX-ST-2019) has been approved but the FAA MCO has required extended flight testing to occur requiring the extension of the effective period of the license.
