3. CS3 Overview  IntroductionsThe CS3 Team The CS3 program has been a collaborative effort between Integral Systems and a couple of the SATCOM industries global service providers. ISI developed the CS3 system using internal R&D funds, and we�ve used our experience and products for satellite ground systems in the CS3 effort. These are the same products that we�re using on the CCS-C system in the MILSATCOM mission area, and from our expereince as the prime contractor on the RAIDRS program. Loral Skynet is a subsidiary of Loral Space Communications, and they are providing live data for the prototype demonstration from 2 of their 6 satellites in the Skynet Fleet. SES New Skies is also a partner with us on this effort, and they�re providing data from 3 satellites in their fleet for today's demonstration. We also have representatives from each of these two service providers if you have any questions for them and their stake in this capability.The CS3 program has been a collaborative effort between Integral Systems and a couple of the SATCOM industries global service providers.

4. CS3 Overview Background Majority of DoD SATCOM provided by commercial platforms Demand for satellite communications has increased from: Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC) �Weapons System� that provides centralized C2 Joint Space Forces Operated by the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC SPACE) Part of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) at Vandenberg AFB, California Reports to CDR JFCC SPACE (Major General William Shelton) Global SATCOM Support Center (GSSC) Provides Joint Forces with global SATCOM system status Maintains situational awareness for SATCOM planned and current operations Supports satellite anomaly resolution and management Facilitates SATCOM interface to DoD IO infrastructure From a mission area perspective, we know that the majority of DoD SATCOM is provided by commercial platforms, and that that need has increased over the last 10-15 years. As that need has increased, the Joint Space Operations Center has been tasked with maintaining space situational awareness on these systems that the DoD is using to ensure their safety and availability. Further, the Global SATCOM Support Center is the focal point for military SATCOM management, and acts as the interface between the commercial provider and the warfighter.From a mission area perspective, we know that the majority of DoD SATCOM is provided by commercial platforms, and that that need has increased over the last 10-15 years.

5. CS3 Overview SATCOM Monitoring ProblemDoD Perspective DoD gets no commercial satellite telemetry and transponder data for status monitoring Current commercial reporting is very limited Substantial gap in Space Situational Awareness (SSA) System anomalies or hostile actions are difficult to detect Collision avoidance operations currently done with orbit data primarily from the Space Surveillance Network (SSN) SSN is capacity constrained to satisfy Joint Space Control requirements Epoch age date of data measured in days vs hours for accuracy requirements Orbit position data from commercial owner/operators can be made available, but is not used in element set generation by the Space Control Center The problem is that with this growing dependence on commercially provided service, the DoD doesn�t have insight on telemetry or transponder data for status monitoring of these systems. That leaves a substantial gap in space situational awareness on these critical platforms. Further, collision avoidance is done with data solely from the Space Surveillance Network, and although this positional data is available from the owner/operators, there�s no vehicle to make the transfer from one organization to the other.

6. CS3 Overview  SATCOM Monitoring ProblemCommercial Perspective Incentives DoD leases are a driving force in the SATCOM industry 179 Transponder Equivalents (TPEs) used by DoD in FY 2005 At 36 Mhz per TPE that is 6.444 GHz of bandwidth In FY 2005, DoD spent $330 Million on Commercial SATCOM transponder leases Spread over 73 commercial COMSATs Source: 7 Jun 06 Report for Section 818 of PL 109-1563 by OSD DoD is the world�s biggest single SATCOM customer Competitive field Multiple major global providers All provide capability of global transmissions All carry DoD communications traffic All face the same threats and need the same integration with DoD From an industry perspective, there are incentives to share data with government due to the nature of the amount of bandwidth the DoD leases. As you can see by the numbers shown, the DoD leases an incredible about of service, and has more and more systems coming on line that require even more from one year to the next. In short, the DoD is the world�s largest single SATCOM customer in the industry. Like any other industry, the SATCOM industry is a competitive one, and all four major providers provide global service, carry DoD comm traffic, and face the same threats and need the same integration with DoD as their competition. Thus, there is an overarching need to better integrate the commercial operators with their military customers.From an industry perspective, there are incentives to share data with government due to the nature of the amount of bandwidth the DoD leases.

7. CS3 Overview The Solution Bring Commercial SATCOM SoH and Payload telemetry directly to the warfighter! CS3 is a lead in for a broader SSA solution that leverages ISI�s CCS-C proven legacy software from USAF MILSATCOM C2 systems Prototype Capabilities Consolidates & displays COMSAT SoH and transponder telemetry Orbital ephemeris updates and analysis capabilities Transponder footprint visualization capabilities merged with mapping tools Proposed 180 day Op/Eval Demonstration Provides basis for DoD and SATCOM industry discussion on requirements and CONOPS Ties into existing SSA and DCS concepts User provided ephemeris for COLA support SV telemetry for anomaly analysis and DCS ops The solution we�ve developed is CS3, and it�s what you see on the table here before you. Simply put, we�re making commercial SATCOM telemetry and ephemeris available to the customer. We�ve developed a prototype capability that displays satellite telemetry, provides orbital ephemeris updates and analysis capability, and hosted it on a system that makes use of the same software products that are currently being used in both the commercial industry as well as the MILSATCOM mission area. Because this is a prototype, we�d like to offer it to the government for a 180 day Op/Eval so that we can get feedback and industry input to facilitate requirements generation and CONOPS development. We don�t want to further develop this system in a vacuum�.we know there are SSA and DCS applications for a system such as this, and we�d like to incorporate these concepts into further development efforts.The solution we�ve developed is CS3, and it�s what you see on the table here before you.

12. CS3 Summary CS3 answers the call for better integration between DoD and commercial SATCOM providers! CS3 is a rapid development capability Use of existing software products already in operational use by DoD and Industry Government input into system development welcome CS3 is a Low Risk, Low Cost approach with High Operational Payoff in space situational awareness mission area We feel that CS3 answers the call by the DoD community for better integration between government and commercial SATCOM providers. It�s a capability that can be rapidly developed because we�re using the same products that are already in operational use by both commercial and military operators, and we�d very much like to get government input into it�s development while we�re still in the early stages of the program. It�s a low cost, low risk approach to the problem with high operational payoffs in the SSA mission area. Finally, if you�d like these charts, or any other information on the program, we�ll be happy to provide that for you.
