Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: The purpose of this operation is to test, validate, and refine the use of C-band radios for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations. This will support research and development of UAS technology, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and establish safe, reliable communications for future operational use.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose of this operation is to test, validate, and refine the use of C-band radios for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) operations. This authorization is necessary to enable the testing and validation of C-band radios for BVLOS UAS operations. The testing will ensure the radios operate within the specified frequency range, comply with FCC regulations, and provide reliable, interference-free communication. The authorization is critical for advancing research and development, establishing operational standards, and supporting safe integration of UAS technology into the National Airspace System.
