                                   REQUEST FOR SIXTY DAY EXTENSION
                                   OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY


Harris Corporation ("Harris") hereby requests an additional extension of the FCC Special Temporary Authority
(“STA”) originally granted to Harris on January 11, 2016 under FCC File No. SES-STA-20151223-00962 and
subsequently extended on February 2, 2016 (FCC File No. SES-STA-20160202-00113), March 8, 2016 (FCC
File No. SES-STA-20160308-00200), April 11, 2016 (FCC File No. SES-STA-20160411-00335), May 11, 2016
(FCC File No. SES-STA-20160511-00409), and June 13, 2016 (FCC File No. SES-STA-20160613-00498).
Harris requests an extension of sixty days from the existing STA expiration date of July 18, 2016 pursuant to
Section 25.120(b)(3) of the Commissions Rules. On July 12, 2016 Harris filed a request for regular authority to
operate the temporary fixed earth station referenced herein (FCC File No. SES-LIC-20160712-00637).

As noted in the original STA request, Harris had proposed and has now deployed a temporary fixed AvL
Technologies 2.4M SNG, 2.4 meter antenna C-Band terminal to a location in Anchorage, Alaska in order to
support time-critical engineering development work on the FAA’s1 Alaska Satellite Telecommunication
Infrastructure (ASTI) modernization program which serves to modernize the National Airspace (NAS)
surveillance and FAA Air-to-Ground communications in Alaska. The temporary fixed AvL Technologies 2.4M
SNG, 2.4 meter antenna C-Band terminal communicates with the AMC-8 Satellite.

Harris continues to experience technical issues with the multiplexer used in conjunction with the ASTI program
which is resulting in timing and synch loss issues. The temporary installation of the AvL Technologies 2.4M
SNG, 2.4 meter antenna C-Band terminal in Anchorage, Alaska will continue to provide a platform to evaluate
the technical issues associated with the technologies that are being deployed as part of the ASTI program.
Although Harris had expected to have the associated issues rectified in April 2016, it now anticipates that full
resolution of the technical issues will be completed by September 2016. Harris has filed for permanent authority
of the temporary fixed earth station and plans to utilize the station in conjunction with the ATSI program.

On November 19, 2015 Harris requested STA for a temporary fixed C-Band terminal located in Prospect,
Connecticut (See File No. SES-STA-20151119-00854).2 That request was also obtained to evaluate and rectify the
technical issues associated with the technologies being deployed under the ASTI program. The Anchorage,
Alaska temporary fixed C-Band terminal will continue to be utilized in conjunction with the Prospect, Connecticut
C-Band terminal.

Harris submits that a grant of this application will serve the public interest because it will assist the FAA's mission
of ensuring flight safety and will further the ASTI and NAS modernization programs.

           RADIATION HAZARD ANALYSIS


                    ANALYSIS OF NON-IONIZING RADIATION
                          for HARRIS CORPORATION
                           Site: CDLS State: AK
           Latitude: 61 9 16.9 Longitude: 149 50 5.4          (NAD83)
                                12-22-2015

The Office of Science and Technology Bulletin, No. 65, October
1985 and revised August 1997, specifies that the maximum level
of non-ionizing radiation that a person may be exposed to over a
six minute period is an average power density equal to 5 mW/cm**2
(five milliwatts per centimeter squared) for a controlled
environment. For an uncontrolled environment, the maximum level
of non-ionizing radiation that a person may be exposed to over a
thirty minute period is an average power density equal to 1 mW/cm**2
(one milliwatt per centimeter squared). It is the purpose of this
report to determine the maximum power flux densities of the earth
station in the far zone, near zone, transition zone, at the main
reflector surface, and between the antenna edge and the ground.


Parameters which were used in the calculations:
===============================================

Antenna Diameter,                 (D) = 2.4000 m

Antenna Surface Area             (Sa) =   pi(D**2)/4       = 4.5239 m**2

Wavelength at 6.1750 GHz     (lambda) = 0.0485 m

Transmit Power at Flange          (P) = 2.3000 Watts

Antenna Gain at Earth Site      (GES) = 41.6000 dBi    =     14454.3977
                                                                Power Ratio:
                                                               AntiLog(GES/10)
pi                                    =    3.1415927

Antenna Aperture Efficiency       (n) = 0.6000


1. FAR ZONE CALCULATIONS
========================

Distance to the Far Zone      (Df) =     (n)(D**2)    = 71.2577 m
                                         ---------
                                          lambda


Far Zone Power Density        (Rf) =     (GES)(P)     = 0.5210 W/m**2
                                       ------------
                                       4*pi*(Df**2)
                                                      = 0.0521 mW/cm**2




2. NEAR ZONE CALCULATIONS
=========================

Power Flux Density is considered to be at a maximum value
throughout the entire length of this Zone. The Zone is
contained within a cylindrical volume which has the same diameter
as the antenna. Beyond the Near Zone, the Power Flux Density
will decrease with distance from the Antenna.

Distance to the Near Zone     (Dn) =       D**2       = 29.6907 m
                                         --------
                                         4*lambda


Near Zone Power Density       (Rn) =     16.0(n)P     = 1.2202 W/m**2
                                         --------
                                         pi(D**2)

                                                      = 0.1220 mW/cm**2




3. TRANSITION ZONE CALCULATIONS
===============================

The Power Density begins to decrease with distance in the
Transition Zone. While the Power Density decreases inversely with
distance in the Transition Zone, the Power Density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Zone.
Since the maximum Power Density in the Transition Zone will not
exceed the Near Zone values, it is not calculated.


4. MAIN REFLECTOR ZONE
======================

Main Reflector Power Density       =       2(P)       = 1.0168 W/m**2
                                           ----
                                            Sa
                                                      = 0.1017 mW/cm**2




5. ZONE BETWEEN THE MAIN REFLECTOR AND THE GROUND
=================================================

Applying uniform illumination of the Main Reflector Surface:

Main to Ground Power Density       =         P        = 0.5084 W/m**2
                                            ----
                                             Sa
                                                      = 0.0508 mW/cm**2

Non-Compliant Antenna Statement

Re: 2.4 Meter Temporary Fixed Earth Station
C-Band: 3700 – 4200 MHz and 5925.0 – 6425.0 MHz


Harris Corporation ("Harris" or "Applicant") proposes to use a AvL Technologies model 2.4M SNG, 2.4
meter antenna for its proposed temporary fixed earth station located in Anchorage, AK at the coordinates
of 61-09-16.9 N, 149-50-05.4 W. The AvL Technologies 2.4M SNG does not strictly comply with 25.209
of the FCC Rules and Regulations.

Pursuant to the Part 25 Earth Station Fifth Report and Order, the International Bureau (Bureau) provides
a List of Approved Non‐Routine Earth Station Antennas. Specifically the website
http://www.fcc.gov/ib/sd/nresa lists non‐routine earth station antennas licensed for use by one or more U.S.
earth station operators since March 15, 2005.

“The Commission has ruled that an Earth station applicant proposing to use an antenna on this list may
no longer be required to attach antenna radiation plots as an exhibit to their applications, as required by
Section 25.132 (b)(3) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.132 (b)(3). Rather, they need only to
provide an attachment to their applications citing the particular non‐routine earth station antenna they
plan to use, and an application file number and call sign of a license in which that type of non‐routine
antenna has been previously approved.”

Accordingly, Harris submits the application file number and call sign, File No. SES-LIC-20070427-00529
(Call Sign: E070079), of a previously licensed AvL Technologies model 2.4M SNG 2.4 meter earth station,
which indicates that the 2.4 meter antenna proposed in this application will operate without conflict.

The applicant agrees to accept any adjacent satellite interference in the 4 GHz receive band as a result of
the performance of the antenna in the 1º to 1.5º region. The applicant understands that no adjacent satellite
interference protection will be available in the 1º to 1.5º regions. The applicant understands that adjacent
satellite interference protection applies only to the extent of the criteria set forth in §25.209. Should the use
of this antenna cause interference to other systems; the applicant agrees to terminate transmission upon
notice from the Commission.
