Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
A further extension of STA is needed in order to continue testing services under a government contract with the Army Counter-UAS, Rapid Capabilities Office (Contract No. W31P4Q-20-D-0031; testing previously under Contract No. W31P4Q-19-C-0006), pending action on DRS concurrently-filed application for license. The use of the radio facilities described herein is necessary to continue testing of Mobile low slow Counter UAS integrated defense system (MLIDS) vehicles to ensure proper operation.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Continuation of testing of Mobile low slow Counter UAS integrated defense system (MLIDS) vehicles. The Applicant requires an STA to continue to operate Rajant radio to complete MLIDS vehicle acceptance testing. No jamming will be conducted. The radio system in question is already developed, however, further testing is required in connection with the testing of MLIDS vehicles being developed for the U.S. Army. The two MLIDS vehicles under development need to share data, and the Applicant needs authority to operate the Rajant radio facilities described herein to enable such data sharing to complete vehicle acceptance testing on the vehicles.
