Exhibit 1 1. Introduction By the instant application (“Application”), Leidos, Inc. (“Leidos”) requests that the Commission grant a 2 year conventional experimental license (“License”) to permit Leidos to operate the facilities (the “Facilities”) specified in the instant application. 2. Purpose of the Operation The testing to be conducted under the requested experimental authority at the Leidos Huntsville, AL campus on Odyssey Drive is a critical part of the testing and demonstration for assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (aPNT) algorithms under Government and internal research and development for military systems. Specifically, in this Application, Leidos requests the use of a GPS re-radiation system to permit testing of GPS navigation systems inside its engineering prototype labs. This GPS re-radiation system will permit Leidos to verify the proper installation and operation of aPNT system prototypes and products. Presently, without the system, Leidos engineers must leave the facility to test products under development. Often these prototypes are not robust enough to allow exposure to weather; this greatly limits the testing operations and severely impacts the product development schedule. Additionally, outside testing is greatly limited due to restrictions in lab equipment that may be operated in that environment. If Leidos were permitted to operate the system, its engineers and technicians could work more efficiently. A wired repeater system would not be a feasible alternative as the receiver antenna is an integral part of the system under test. Various commercial manufacturing operations are using in-building repeaters to streamline navigation system diagnosis and repair times. Leidos seeks to realize similar benefits and quickly provide research to the United States military forces. A waiver of the Station ID requirements of 47 CFR §5.115(a) is respectfully requested. A. IR&D and Contract Support These operations will be in support of Internal Research and Development and the following government contract: Agency/Customer: US ARMY ACC-APG-RTP W911NF Contract Number: W911NF-15-C-0224 Contract POC: Julie Drexler, Ph.D. 407-208-3016 NOTES: - The License is requested to permit operation in support of the above contract AND ALSO for Internal Research and Development. - Accordingly, a Station Class of XD or XT is requested, to permit operation in support of both the contract and IR&D.

3. Compliance with NTIA GPS Re-Radiation Criteria – Section 8.3.27 of NTIA Regulations The system Leidos seeks to operate will re-radiate the GPS L1 (1575.42 MHz), L2 (1227.60 MHz), and L5 (1176.45 MHz) signals and GLONASS (1602 MHz) signals. A common system consisting of one active antenna, one passive antenna, and one amplifier will be used for these frequencies at this site. Leidos hereby confirms that the proposed operations are in full compliance with Section 8.3.27 “Use of Fixed Devices That Re-Radiate Signals Received from the Global Positioning System” of the NTIA regulations governing re-radiation of GPS signals. See Attachment 1 for the calculations demonstrating compliance with the NTIA criteria. 4. Directionality/Orientation Width of Beam at Orientation in Orientation in Vertical Plane Half-Power Point Horizontal Plane 0° -180° 114° 5. Stop Buzzer Leidos is well aware of its obligation under Commission rules to immediately terminate operation in the event of interference to any other licensed emitter. Leidos is a long-standing Commission licensee and the company will take any and all actions to ensure that it complies with its obligations as a licensee of experimental facilities. The Stop Buzzer in the event of interference is: Primary: Jonathan D.
