2 Providing Actionable Intelligence Our success is founded on excellence in every dimension: in our products, in our team members and in the way we do business. We deliver the technology our customers require today, with a focus on developing even stronger skills and technologies for tomorrow. UTC Aerospace Systems designs, develops, manufactures, integrates and supports systems and software for operational ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) imagery exploitation and intelligence data management. We bring the right people with the right skills and authority together at the right time to efficiently solve problems using a short, dynamic command chain. Close involvement with the customer at all times is vital. An open relationship is essential to building mutual understanding and trust, leading to more effective co-operation to achieve shared goals. Information is derived from data collected by multiple intelligence sources on a variety of ISR platforms. A key challenge facing military operations is providing actionable intelligence to military commanders and their political leaders, when they need to make a decision achieving this is the task of the intelligence cycle. UTC Aerospace Systems provides products and systems that employ and assist the warfighter through the ISR process: Direction: management of resources and processes to deliver actionable information and intelligence to decision makers. Collection: gathering data to support answering questions. Processing: analysis and exploitation of collected sensor data to derive actionable information and intelligence. Dissemination: delivery of the information and intelligence to appropriate decision makers and end-users.

3 Core Ground Station Products UTC Aerospace Systems ground station product line is very well established proven and reliable. Functionality: Exploitation Management Data Receipt Video Standards Conversion Data Processing Data Exploitation Intelligence Production Intelligence Dissemination Collateral and Information Management Benefit: Modular architecture can be organized to match customer facility, mobility and CONOPS requirements. Speed and accuracy of reconnaissance and surveillance operations is vital to ensuring effective and timely command decisions. These qualities are fundamental in the design and deployment of the intelligence gathering and data management in our core ground station product. The ISR Systems Intelligence Exploitation systems were developed to stringent military and civilian standards and extensively fieldtested. Systems using the UTC Aerospace Systems Exploitation suite (MERLIN) are currently in use by a number of NATO and International Forces with additional deliveries to global customers due in the near future. All ground stations have a core set of tools to manage exploitation requirements especially when the systems are geographically separated: Tasking Data availability Communications Customised to customer requirements. UTC Aerospace Systems core technologies include: Georeferencing System security Networking Collaborative working Mapping using open GIS standards Databases; image display; data formats ISR architectures Intelligence Reference Library (IRL) The Goodrich ISR Systems Intelligence Reference Library (IRL) provides a networkcentric cataloging solution for information management and dissemination. The IRL enables the storage, search and retrieval of multi-intelligence primary data (IMINT, ELINT, SIGINT, etc.) and secondary intelligence products (imagery, mapping, reports, etc.) The IRL enables the search of very high volumes of primary and secondary data in geographically distributed databases the demander only pulls selected search returns. Key to the operation of the IRL is compliance with NATO STANAG 4559 for the Coalition Shared Data server (CSD). The ISR Systems Intelligence Reference Library ensures the latest available information can be retrieved by tactical or strategic users. DACAR Airborne Intelligence Reference Library The UTC Aerospace Systems DACAR is the Airborne Server for a Network-Enabled, Imagery On-Demand ISR system. Aircraft pod mounted, the DACAR is the answer to the ISR industry need for more persistent surveillance, where the data is still available for exploitation in real-time, but over lower-bandwidth links. DACAR can store a variety of sensor data in its STANAG 4559 and NATO CSD compliant Intelligence Reference Library, and then only transmits it on an as-needed basis using bandwidth-efficient techniques. DACAR makes the stored data available to a network over standard Ethernet interfaces, which can be connected to various ground exploitation systems via a satellite communications link, for example.

4 Product Support Through-Life Integrated Logistics Support UTC Aerospace Systems is committed to providing support throughout the life of your program. We deliver more than just ISR products; we can supply a customized logistics support package tailored exactly to your requirements, from concept through disposal, taking into consideration factors such as obsolescence and risk factors. As part of our through-life integrated logistics support, ISR Systems offers various levels of field-service engineering support ranging from telephone assistance to onsite contractor logistics support (CLS) located at customer facilities. Our support package can also include customized training of customer personnel, and technical publications for full system operation and maintenance. ISR Systems supports all stages of the CADMID cycle: Concept: UTC Aerospace Systems understands CONOPS and helps the customer define their requirements. Assessment: we assess and identify an acceptable balance of time, cost and performance for programs. Demonstrate: as proven during Trial Falcon Prowl (JUEP), ISR Systems can undertake progressive reduction of development risk; meets performance targets. Manufacture: we deliver acceptable solutions to meet military requirements. In-Service: we provide effective support to the Front Line, and timely delivery of any agreed upgrades. Disposal: we support the efficient, effective and safe disposal of the equipment. Whole Life Costs Supply Support Technical Publications Support and Test Equipment Safe and Effective Disposal of Material Technical and Software Support Maintenance and In-Service Monitoring Obsolescence Configuration Management UTC Aerospace Systems is a Customer- and Mission- Oriented Company. We specialize in analysing problems, evaluating scenarios, defining requirements, and identifying cost and operationally effective mission systems.
