This is not revolutionary, its evolutionary! Past Aerostats at Sea This is not revolutionary, its evolutionary! Sensors are shrinking while capability is growing! Adapt the systems to fit the current requirements. 5/8/2018 Company Proprietary

What are we Proposing? What is our suggestion: Temporarily install an aerostat with an EO/IR sensor & a SIGINT package for GSM Cell phone and Satellite Phone detection Conduct operations to measure the performance of both systems Discuss with Surface Warfare experts what is the “art of the possible” & what are REAL Requirements that could be satisfied. Ask – Are there solutions that would enhance the capabilities of the ship “Give it a Try” 5/8/2018 Company Proprietary
