9. 9 Tactical Paging Buoy (TPB) Buoy launched by a Submarine
Buoy receives Iridium SATCOM broadcasts from shore site/ networks and converts signal to “Deep Siren” acoustic transmission, an acoustic coded pulse to relay information to submerged Sub
TPB provides Buoy to Submarine communications only (one-way -- ship (or shore)-to-submarine)

12. 12 Summary XTAR potential option to supplement submarine MILSATCOM
Shore site requires additional investigation
No XTAR specific inboard submarine modifications required
IRIDIUM Provides a unique capability with world wide coverage and on-demand service
Transition From IRIDIUM back to MILSATCOM (MUOS) as IRIDIUM reaches end-of-life
