Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
As part of a joint urgent operational need (JUON), Raytheon needs to build and provide an illuminator for a launch vehicle platform. The STA is necessary to gain spectrum authorization in order to begin testing, as soon as possible.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  The illuminator needs to be retrograded into the launch vehicle platform and work with its RADAR. Both the illuminator and RADAR need to transmit at the same time to track a target.

Callsign: WV9XXV
Class of Station: MO
Nature of Service: Experimental

Requested Period of Operation
Operation Start Date: 08/14/2023
Operation End Date: 10/01/2023
