  6. MESA Overview • MESA is a service that broadcasts multi-source data to mobile users using Digital Audio Radio Service (DARS) satellites • Faster than existing mobile-user satellite downlinks • Enables more mission options such as distribution of imagery and audio • Can accelerate existing BFT data • Smaller user equipment • Global, secure, addressable satellite devices • Wearable, battery-operated devices • Geo-referenced content distribution • Fully leverages commercial industry • On-orbit satellites and control infrastructure • High-volume receiver technology • Multiple Asynchronous Return Links available. • Simple synergies with MSS, UFO, MUOS and GBS, IBS and FLTBROADCAST • Medium Bandwidth • Highly Mobile Library/Local Content (e.g. Maps & Overlays) DARS Satellites Multi-Source SA and Alert Data MESA Service Center BFT MTS JTAGS DHS PSDS2 DARS Uplink Mobile Users Return Link Commercial News and Data MESA Architecture

  7. XM Radio

  8. WorldSpace L-Band Spectra 1477.000 MHz 1467.000 MHz 1490.184 MHz Ameristar NW LH NE LH NW RH SO RH NE RH SO LH Afristar NW RH NW LH SO LH NE RH SO RH NE LH Asiastar NE LH SO RH NE RH SO LH NW LH NW RH WorldSpace WorldSpace Satellite Constellation AsiaStar 105oE AfriStar 21oE AmeriStar 95o W Geostationary Earth Orbit WSSR-11 DDA Computer Each Satellite transmits six TDM Carriers, two in each of three earth coverage beams. Each TDM carrier transports a baseband bit rate of 1536 kbits/sec. The Baseband can be divided into up to 96 Broadcast Channels The maximum Broadcast Channel bit Rate is 128 kbit/s Each beam covers 14 million square kilometers of the earth’s surface. Small personal radios receive the TDM carriers and select a desired Broadcast Channel AfriStar and AsiaStar are now in orbit, Ameristar is yet to be launched.

  12. MESA for Humanitarian Assistance • Selected Receiver Population in use today • Consequence Management • Common Situational Awareness • Logistics Advisement • Disease Advisory • Tsunami Alerts • Military and Coalition Operations AsiaStar Southern India Coastal Thailand Sri Lanka The Maldives Singapore NOC Northwest Indonesia • CURRENTLY SUPPORTING 4 MAJOR NGOS • WITH VOICE AND DATA SERVICES IN SRI LANKA • AND INDONESIA.

  13. User Terminals Can be Configured to Provide Time-Phased Capabilities 3 Types of user terminals are currently envisioned • Wearable • Based on modified COTS • Software mods to current product • Wearable • Text display • Mission focus: alerts • Can be integrated with VOIP Controller • BFT Accelerator • Mission focus: rapid updates of SA data • High capacity data updates to mobile networks • Tablet-Based • Modification to Military App software • Runs on Modified COTS or CDA • Mapping application to receive maps and satellite photos • Mission: SA data for agents or first responders.

  14. Conclusions • MESA is a unique emergency communications and alert capability available TODAY. • Affordable common operational picture and tailored broadcast services to field agents, key locations, key leaders, or the entire public on ground, in air, or off shore. • “Bolt-on” to existing Information Server Files and Programs. • Securable and completely portable with the user.
