Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Authority is requested for a six month period; February 2015 through July 2015; covering the initial phase of a data collection program that MIT Lincoln Laboratory is performing in support of work sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security. To support the programs schedule and analysis efforts the data collection activity is planned to commence in December. Due to the limited duration of operations and early start date we are requesting an STA to operate the equipment specified in the application. Authority is requested for only limited operation of the equipment. Specifically, operation of the facilities will occur primarily weekdays between 8:00 am- 5:00 pm (ET). It is expected that on each day, transmissions will not exceed 4 hours in cumulative duration. In addition, during those hours, operation will be sporadic, not continuous. In fact, there may be extended periods of non-operation during the authorized period.
