Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
The F-16 Block 60 Program is a Direct Commercial Sale to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) sanctioned by both the DoD and The State department. Because of the unusual nature of this contract (Commercial rather than FMS) there were delays while the proper course was determined for accomplishing the license requirements. In late 2003 the Air Force (AFFMA) determined that this program should go through the FCC Channels for the required RF Authorizations. Requests have been filed with the FCC for the required authorizations, but have not completed the process. Therefore, temporary authorizations are required so that flight test activities can continue to satisfy both the Safety of Flight requirements of the government but also to be sure that the aircraft are ready for support the US Government commitment for pilot training of this foreign customer.

Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
Validating F-16 Block 60 Program aircraft HF radio system design. We plan to conduct one or two test events (the second would be if the first event failed due to an aircraft anomaly) in the second or third quarter of 2004. The purpose of the test(s) is to validate the aircraft HF radio system design. The test(s) require very limited RF transmission time (less than 15 minutes of transmission time in a one day period). The test(s) will be conducted between one aircraft and an LM Aero Fort Worth stationary laboratory with HF radio capability. If the test(s) are conducted with the aircraft on the ground, the aircraft will be also be located at the LM Aero Fort Worth facility.
