4 TEST VS TRAINING OBJECTIVES Operational Test Equipment performance evaluation Independent TSPI and other sensors as required High data rates, secure, spectrally efficient communication DoD Network e.g. JMETC / SIPRNET Training Focus on operator performance (Live or Virtual) Tactical communications do not support virtual/constructive traffic Need for a common, interoperable network/data per security policy DoD Network e.g. JMETC / SIPRNET Virtual / Constructive Simulation; Real Time Casuality Assessment 4:Date May 12, 2011

5 TEST / TRAINING COMMON ATTRIBUTES Joint Operations Coalition Operations Encrypted communication Tactical scenarios DoD network interoperability Tethered / Untethered operation Spectral efficiency Platform agnostic Non-intrusive DIACAP certification Live Instrumentation DoD Network e.g. JMETC / SIPRNET Virtual / Constructive Simulation; Real Time Casuality Assessment Modular Open System Approach (MOSA) can be applied to the entire system; MOSA tenets reduce life cycle cost 5:Date May 12, 2011

10 ARCHITECTURE / IMPLEMENTATION SATISFIES COMMON ATTRIBUTES Enables Joint and Coalition interoperability on 4 th and 5 th Generation aircraft as allow by security policy 4 channel, U-TS/SAR, Multiple Independent Level Security with Secure Bypass allows data sharing between enclaves FIPS NIST Certified and/or Type 1 encrypted communication Remote Ground Station is unclassified during operation All roles not required to be cleared at the highest level SCA compliant data link provides enhanced data transfer flexibility, control, and increased data capacity Supports tethered and untethered operation Spectrally efficient communication Ad hoc networking / waveform design to support high dynamics 10:Date May 12, 2011

11 LIFE CYCLE COST COMPARISON Clean sheet design is an open architecture promotes the lowest life cycle cost for airborne Test and Training Breaks the mold of incremental upgrades for good enough which ultimately costs more over the life cycle One logistics tail to manage/support Comprehensive system security approach includes consideration of open interface definitions to facilitate upgrades over time Rockwell Collins has been fielding systems to support high assurance missions with a MOSA for over 10 years Typical cost of reused system capabilities by incremental functionality is generally 25% of the initial investment Common design for growth, upgradability and obsolescence management for the expected 25-year service life 11:Date May 12, 2011

13 Certification event at I/ITSEC 2010 Rockwell Collins was demonstrating LVC Training in a Close Air Support mission scenario The story of JTAC certification USAF JTACs asked about the applicability to night currency training per the Joint Publication Mission scenario was reconfigured in 30 minutes Night time currency certification completed Rockwell Collins demonstrated capability to train and qualify troops at home stations while connected to Live assets at other locations 13:Date May 12, 2011

14 CONCLUSION Rockwell Collins has applied a MOSA to instrumentation supporting Test and Training missions to lower life cycle cost Implementation of the architecture has demonstrated growth to enhanced Live, Virtual, Constructive fidelity The common, configurable system is packaged in multiple configurations for application to 4 th generation (pod) and 5 th generation (embedded) platforms System integration of all configurations to ensure interoperability with Joint and/or Coalition partners as allowed by security policy 14:Date May 12, 2011
