Exhibit 1 PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT By the instant application (“Application”), Leidos, Inc. (“Leidos”) requests that the Commission grant a two year conventional experimental license to permit Leidos to operate the facilities specified in the instant application. 1. Purpose of Operation Leidos wishes to test functionality and evaluate the performance of the Rockwell Collins VHF-22C multichannel VHF voice transceiver and AN/ARC-210 radio, Harris AN/PRC-117G multiband radio, and Honeywell HF-1050 radio that are installed on Leidos’ de Havilland dash-8 aircraft. The proposed operation (a continuation of the operations previously authorized under STA (WN9XOE)) – comprised of both ground-based and airborne transmissions – will be used to test the mobile aircraft mounted communications suite for system reliability and performance. This license will support Leidos’ continued integration, testing and fielding of the communications systems into multiple aircraft that are directly supporting DOD operations worldwide. The intended purpose of this experiment is to prove operability and performance, pursuant to government contract requirements. Waiver of the Station ID rules set forth at Section 5.115 is respectfully requested. The applicable government contract information is as follows; Customer/Agency: U.S. Army Contract No.: W56KGY-16-D-0001 Contract POC’s: COR Matthew Perry ARL-E MEP PM Sensors - Aerial Intelligence Office: (443) 861-2110 Blackberry: (443) 910-7164 matthew.j.perry26.civ@mail.mil Technical: Jeannie Eng Saturn Arch APM/ ARL-E Tech Lead PM SAI 443-861-2108 DSN: 848-2108 BB: 443-643-5639 NIPR: Jeannie.h.eng.civ@mail.mil
