Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The MITRE Corporation is seeking an FCC Experimental License to transmit HF signals from 15 June to 15 October 2018 within the HF band between 4 and 12 MHz. Transmissions from WSMR (6-12 MHz) will provide ionospheric sounding for the propagation channel and will be used to select a test frequency for AFRLs test. Transmissions from Malabar and Whidbey Island (4-10 MHz) will provide critical vertical ionospheric sounding information necessary to interpret the results from the AFRL test. We plan to transmit at low power levels and on a not-to interfere basis. Sounding information is needed on an intermittent basis - less than 5 minutes in duration before and after a test.
