AEHF MCS GSAW Conference Slides Page 2 System Overview

Milstar AEHF TSAT

AEHF Space Segment (3 Space Vehicles) • Space Vehicle • Payload – System Timing – Communication – Autonomous Fault Detection and Routing and Correction – Antenna Coverage/ – Jamming/Nuclear Protection Comm Capacity

Comm Planning Control

Baseband Terminals Mission Control Segment • Apportionment • Command and Control • Direct I/F to User • AEHF and Planning • Training and Simulation • User Interoperability • International Partners • Sustainment • Over-the-Air Rekey • End-to-End Services • User Comm Services • Terminal Control • Ground Mobiles • User Resource Control “TSAT Photo courtesy of Military Satellite Communications Systems Wing. OtherAEHF photosMCS GSAW reprinted Conference courtesy Slides of the United States Department of Defense.” Page 3 Introduction : AEHF System • High Capacity • Assured access to assigned resources – User resources “fenced off” from one another – Anti-jamming – Anti-Scintillation – Weather • Secure Communications – Inter-Satellite Crosslinks – Encryption of communication – Terminal authentication • Flexible communications – Resources configurable directly by the user “on the fly” – Wide range of user data rate available • 75 bps up to 8 Mbps • Wide Range of Services available – Point-to-point calls, voice and video conference networks (half and full duplex), data inter-connectivity, etc.

AEHF MCS GSAW Conference Slides Page 4 Mission Control Segment

• Four Deliverable Products to Support Milstar and AEHF – Distributed Communications Planning – Modernized Command and Control – High Fidelity Training and Simulation Mission Operations Element (MOPS) – COTS Based Integrated Software and Database • Fixed and Three Mobile Command and Sustainment Control Systems • Modern Architecture Provides Firm Foundation for Growth – Modular Design With Combination of Legacy, NDI, COTS, and GOTS Products – Incremental Development Allows Early Capability Fielding and Supports User Feedback Loop – 1.7M ELOC Architected With Proven CMMi-5 Processes Operations Support and Test and Training Simulation Sustainment Element (OSSE) • Supports O&M Mission Planning Element (MPE) Element (TTSE) • 60 Distributed PC-Based • Integrated Command Mission Planning Systems and Control Simulator and Trainer

• COTS Based • Uses Actual Payload and • Leverages Milstar Lessons Bus Software Learned by Integrating Software • Proven Architecture Used and Database Maintenance on GPS • Robust Testing on Delivered • Simulates Both Milstar and AEHF Hardware

• Process – leadership and management techniques used in conducting the program

• Design – innovative methods used to develop and represent the technical content of the program

• Customer Relationship – practices in cooperatively developing and validating the baseline requirement and design

AEHF MCS GSAW Conference Slides Page 7 AEHF MCS Startup Strategy •Establish Business Rhythms •Leadership Assessment Template •Smooth Staffing Ramp-up, “Best Athlete” •Core Team Firm Fixed Price Training & Mindset •Proactive Program Planning & Mgmt During Transition & Start-up Focused on Execution Plan •Prime Integration Approach (Deputy on-site, TDY’s) •Definitize Major Subcontracts at Award & Treat as Teammates Successful Program Startup •Customer Engagement & Communication •Senior Mgmt Review & Commitment •Baseline Change Control Process •Schedule Management Approach •Employee Awards Program

Focus on Startup Process Provides Basis for Successful Program
