Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Operation of a low-power imaging radar system developed by Umbra Lab Inc. It is designed for operation on an airborne platform, but experimental testing may also be performed on mobile platforms. The purpose of the radar system, and the rational for this STA, is to 1) demonstrate hardware and functionality necessary for a planned space-based synthetic aperture radar, and 2) gather imaging radar data pertinent to the operation of a space-based synthetic aperture radar operating within the ITU allocated frequencies at X-band. Umbra Lab coordinated the previous experimental operation with local regulatory agencies / stakeholders and will plan to do so again.
