Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Lockheed Martin wishes to evaluate emerging Ku-band satellite technology for high data rate communication to rotary wing platforms. Specifically, Lockheed Martin wishes to evaluate the ViaSat VMT1220 terminal.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  To evaluate Ku-band satellite technology for high data rate communication to rotary wing platforms. Lockheed Martin wishes to evaluate ViaSat proprietary technology which maintains the flow of data transmission in the presence of momentary path blockage due to the aircraft?s rotor blades. During testing, remote terminal antennas, or commercially available fixed VSAT antennas will be mounted on test stands underneath the rotor blades. For commercial VSAT antennas that are utilized in testing, their sidelobe performance will exceed that of the ViaSat aero terminal antenna and further limit the PSD of interference energy.
