Please explain the purpose of operation:
Connectivity demonstration of Northrop Grumman and commercial antennas for defense-related networking solutions. Demonstration relay receives on 3.35 to 3.45 GHz and relays on 3.7 to 3.8 GHz. Experiment is a 5G base station transmitting to a relay payload on a hovering drone at an altitude not to exceed 200 ft. The relay payload retransmits on the second frequency to a receiver station. The duration of each test is not to exceed 30 minutes.
