1 VT Group Unmanned Systems Capabilities Brief

2 Our Company Our success rests in its three lines of business Integrated Solutions, Technical Services and Unmanned Systems. From providing turnkey engineering design and technical services for advanced electronics and communications systems worldwide and collaborating with our customer to determine mission requirements to pioneering the unmanned systems industry, we are uniquely positioned to be a global value-adding partner in the commercial and public sectors. Technical Services Unmanned Systems Integrated Solutions

3 Unmanned Systems End-to-End Life Cycle Management Mission Concept MRO CONOPS Testing Research Mission Design Analysis Integrated Capabilities Program Management Operations Mission Planning Logistics Support Training

4 Mission Analysis & Program Management Research institutions often have need for data-gathering, for which an unmanned system is optimized. While the scientists involved are experts in their scientific endeavor, generally they are not unmanned systems experts. Our experience and expertise allows our clients to focus on the desired outcome of their mission and lets us take care of the rest. As a fully integrated program management provider, we also can help assess the success of the mission.

5 In-field Operations VT Group offers a pioneering methodology and proven performance record for skilled, deployable field service representatives (FSRs), mission commanders (MCs) and maintainers across multiple unmanned platforms. We deliver mission-specific expertise and a full suite of services to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and end-users of unmanned vehicle systems.

6 Payload & Platform Testing Based on the customer s requirements, we provide: Methodology preparation Platform provision Pre-flight logistics Hardware and software testing Third-party verification and report generation Human factors assessments

11 Sample CONOPS Riverine Flood Control Expertise in mission planning and design Mobile Command Center capability Tier 2 Flexibility to relocate quickly Multiple aircraft platforms Simultaneous aircraft Operations Tier 1 Conductivity to relay real time video to multiple sites Radar capability for enhanced aircraft de-confliction Forward Eyes Command Vehicle 60nm 24 hour operations Experienced operators to enhance mission success NOAA Cmd center State agencies FEMA Tier 2

12 Our Experience Haiti Earthquake Experience gained from a small UAS team deployed to Port Au Prince to aid in the emergency recovery in Haiti. Integrate new technology into a chaotic emergency situation, helping support disaster relief efforts in real time. American missionary organization required the status of the children and their health stranded in a mountainous region. Modifying the mission profile and flying to the remote region, we made the aerial assessment in real-time with onboard surveillance equipment. CAL Fires - Experience gained in the Winter 2007, VT Unmanned Systems, then Evergreen Unmanned Systems, coordinated with The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL Fires) and other agencies to craft a UAV operation for the 2008 summer fire season. Define a template and a process to integrate UAVs into a dynamic emergency environment. Provide a concept of operation (CONOP) that could be applied to fire emergencies nationally. CONOP and a process was put in place to allow a template Certification of Authorization (COA) to be placed over an existing fire scalable to the temporary flight restriction (TFR). Shell Oil in the Arctic VT Group FSR s participated in the setup and execution of flight operations at sea in the Arctic Circle for Shell Oil. Assisted Shell Oil tracking and monitoring marine mammals to ensure their migration patterns were uninterrupted by drilling operations. Goal was to legitimize the use of unmanned aircraft to achieve the same objectives of the manned aircraft in tracking marine life, while minimizing the risk to personnel.
