Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The currently unknown RF response characteristics of various electronic devices make it uncertain exactly what frequencies and power levels are optimum to evaluate our method of detection. The purpose of requesting this STA is to perform near-term testing which will allow us to better define and refine the operational parameters for our ground penetrating experiments.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  To evaluate a new RF method for remotely detecting electronic devices. The purpose of this research program is to evaluate a new RF method for remotely detecting electronic devices.This method has been tested in an RF anechoic chamber but needs to be evaluated in an outdoor environment. Testing will involve emitting specific RF frequencies which are proprietary and export controlled and spatially scanning a line-of-site (1m to 100m) field-of-regard with directional helical antenna. The details of the RF pulse characteristics, helical antenna, spatial scanning, and ultimate application are all considered to be government sensitive information and are export controlled. All of the experiments performed will be ground penetrating. This project is being done under contract with the United States Department of Defense specifically the Army Us Space and Missile Defense Command and the Leonard Wood Institute. The USASMDC contract number is no. W9113M-09-C-0046. The point of contact is Dr. Larry Altgilbers, 256-955-1488. The Leonard Wood Institute contract no. is W911NF-07-2-0062. The point of contact is Mr. Dorsey Newcomb, 573-329-8502. The specific contract and agency are considered to be government sensitive information along with the specific defense-related application area that this work is addressing.

(b) Orientation in horizontal plane:   133.60
(c) Orientation in vertical plane:  
Will the antenna extend more than 6 meters above the ground, or if mounted on an existing building, will it extend more than 6 meters above the building, or will the proposed antenna be mounted on an existing structure other than a building?   Yes
(a) Overall height above ground to tip of antenna in meters:   17.00
