2 Within the context of link 22 To provide Integrators and Users with a Functional Overview Introduce the Existing and Future Electronic Boxes that implement the link 22 functionality LOCKHEED MARTIN PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Lockheed Martin Australia STASYS Pty Limited 4 ADF Beyond Line Of Sight (BLOS) Need Identified by ADF TIE IO BLOS Study Reinforced by AUSCANNZUKUS C4 Committee - L11 has endured for over 50 years - Significant vulnerabilities in the L11 architecture - Mounting crypto equipment and terminal sustainment issues lead to significant negative impact on the Allied BLOS TDL capability - AUS and NZL have dispersed mobile and deployed joint forces that lack the persistent 24/7 airborne assets required to affect link 16 (RF) LOS relay - Need viable BLOS TDL capability where satellite access is limited or denied.

3 - Of replacement TDL Options available, only L22 (HF) can provide a persistent J-series compliant BLOS TDL capability ADF Operational Need * Information from April 2010 CCIB Presentation 3 LOCKHEED MARTIN PROPRIETARY INFORMATION Lockheed Martin Australia STASYS Pty Limited IU01 Radar Surveillance Range IU 02 Radar Surveillance Range IU 01 IU 02 (Radar Picket, Surf Attack Unit, Third Party Targeting Unit or Indep t Ops Airspace Mgt) IU 10 HQ = No Sensors Receives all network participants ( IUs) and all their tracks (Receive, Plot and Update) Common Tracking Zone MUST be IAW Reporting Responsibility & Correlation Rules / Tolerances set by Mil-Std 6016 Reach-Back/Forward (Globally) (One Deployed C2 unit assigned within TG to reach back to fixed site One way Transmission / Broadcast) No Higher Latency Could use IP / COP connection Intra-Zone Via SATCOM Exchanging Common Tracks, must follow rules Both IU active on Satcom link Increased Latency, Subject to Satcom availability 300 NM 300 NM Typical HF TDL (> 300NM)
