Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Raytheon Company (Missiles & Defense – M) “Raytheon” builds a variety of products for the US government, including for the US military. This application requests renewed authorization for the use of radios that will be used in a developing line of UASs that will deliver advanced functionality to the Department of Defense. Raytheon has been asked to demonstrate its technology at launching its UAVs from a site on the west coast of Kauai. Raytheon is seeking authorization for demonstrations and testing that is scheduled to start on May 31, 2022 and run through the end of November 30, 2022. Because this is a limited amount of time, an STA is appropriate. Raytheon’s spectrum manager learned of this requirement on May 10, 2022, and this application is being submitted as quickly as possible.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Raytheon is taking its Coyote platform to Kauai, Hawaii for testing and demonstrations for its Navy customer. The UAVs will be in flight primarily over the Pacific Ocean. There will be two control stations on vessels also on the ocean, and a number of radios will be deployed on the to show how the radios interact with one another. The network of radios will be operated simultaneously, to demonstrate the interoperability of the units as a group. The radios will share the spectrum requested in this application. This operation is strictly developmental testing. The radios will be tested to see whether they can perform effectively on a UAS platform. This is not for regular, ongoing operations of the radio.
