Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
My organisation is participating at in an experimental competition at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center as part of the First Responder Smart Tracking Challenge. This use of communication is small scale and not meant for communication outside this competition. The use case for the experiment is the indoor tracking of first responders. The test site as such has several structures like buildings and tunnels. The trials consist of having the first responders enter different structures and be able to track them inside. The 1 km range given in our application refers to the total site area that contains multiple separate of these structures.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  The purpose is to track first reponders indoors and to communicate their position with a base station at the entrance of the building in question.
