Night Operations*
Does your experiment require operating during the hours of darkness? All efforts will be made to accomodate, however resources for night operations are limited.
Communication Frequency*
Will you require Frequency Utilization? If your experiment will be radiating on a given frequency or frequency band, you must have prior approval to transmit on that frequency. Prior approval may include compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Title 47, Part 15 or a Special Temporary Authority (STA) from the FCC. If equipment is government owned and operating within a Federal Band, you must have National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) frequency approval. Your authority to radiate should be submitted along with your nomination or emailed directly to tech_exp@socom.mil. The FCC recommends you submit you request at least 30 days prior to the start of the event.
