Last Name: Chesebrough
First Name: Rob
Title: Lead Scientist
Phone Number: 603-320-3575

Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
We require a license in order to perform critical over the air tests in fulfillment of a Government Contract (HR001121C0130).

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Explore RF propagation effects for communications and radar signals between an autonomous sensing platform on the sea surface and land. The goal of these tests is to explore RF propagation effects for communications and radar signals between an autonomous sensing platform on the sea surface and an aerial platform. Because of the distances involved and the atmospheric effects these experiments cannot be conducted in an indoor test chamber.

Callsign: WT9XZL
Class of Station: FX MO
Nature of Service: Experimental

Requested Period of Operation
Operation Start Date: 03/21/2023
Operation End Date: 09/21/2023

Manufacturer
List below transmitting equipment to be installed (if experimental, so state) if additional rows are required, please submit equipment list as an exhibit:

Certification
Neither the applicant nor any other party to the application is subject to a denial of Federal benefits that includes FCC benefits pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. Section 862, because of a conviction for possession or distribution of a controlled substance. The applicant hereby waives any claim to the use of any particular frequency or electromagnetic spectrum as against the regulatory power of the United States because of the prvious use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and requests authorization in accordance with this application. (See Section 304 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended.) The applicant acknowledges that all statements made in this application and attached exhibits are considered material representations, and that all the exhibits part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application; undersigned certifies that all statements in this application are true, complete and correct to the best of his/her knowledge and belief and are made in good faith. Applicant certifies that construction of the station would NOT be an action which is likely to have a significant environmental effect. See the Commission's Rules, 47 CFR1.1301-1.1319.
