Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Anduril Industries, Inc. (“Anduril”) respectfully requests special temporary authority to support a Low Collateral Effectors Interceptor (“LCEI”) test and evaluation event hosted by the U.S. Army’s Joint Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (“JCO”) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (“AFRL”). The test would occur at a fixed site at Camp Roberts—a California Army National Guard post in Paso Robles, California—from November 14, 2022 to November 18, 2022. This application requests authorization for communications between unmanned aerial systems (“UAS”) and a radio frequency (“RF”) receiving system during the LCEI testing period.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Anduril proposes to use the Anduril Industries 101-3575 (“Anvil 3D”) radar to detect and track targets and a pair of Silvus Technologies StreamCaster 4240-467 (“StreamCaster” or “StreamCaster 4240”) radios to communicate between the ground control station and the radar. One StreamCaster radio would reside at a fixed location on the ground and the other StreamCaster radio would reside on the UAS flying at a maximum height of 1000 meters above ground level; the pair of radios will transmit to and receive communications from each other. The Anvil 3D radar would also be mounted on the UAS.
