Defence needs Satcom evolution …
» We can’t communicate the way we did 10 years ago…

When we need to support…

» Communications at all echelons
» Increased speeds and capacities
» More resilience and assurance
» With less people and kit
» …with tighter budgets...

 needed in a diverse, evolving network.
» Current Trends
› Data Exploit at Brigade HQ
› Lower SWaP Jumpable Satcom
› Flexible Satcom terminals
› Integrated Tracks from LOS, Link-16,
Blue Force Tracking

»Emerging Trends
› Active Cyber Defense
› Multi-Satellite Network Resilience
› Protected Waveform Deployment
› Low-cost, sub-20cm Satcom apertures
› Small, low-cost new Satcom platforms

VIASAT PROPRIETARY 6
 We must have flexibility at the tactical edge.

» Needed capability in the enterprise with reduced user SWaP

› Users can move between basic and enhanced capability regions
› Networks evolve regionally: no user is left unserved, no simulcasting
› “Soft” tech refresh, evolve forwards and backwards per mission needs

Today’s stovepipes Start with flexible enable flexibility As flexible systems Missions can

 CBM-400 Multi-Mission Satellite Modem

» CBM-400 is a true Software Defined Modem

» Collapses multiple hardware platforms into one
» Backward Compatible and “Future Proof”
» Native support for FIPS 140-2 AES 256-bit

» Q: Why does this matter to the user?

» A: Optimises transport to the Mission Needs
› Deployable network with high-rate single-hop mesh [LinkWay, MF-TDMA]
› Advance party with high data rate needs; opportunistic high data rate transfers [EBEM,
FDMA, Current US / NATO standard for WGS access]
› Turnkey Airborne ISR and access services [ArcLight, CRMA]
› Access to ViaSat’s global high capacity and NBNCo constellations and networks

Carry Less, Maintain Less, Train Quickly, DO MORE!
