Why Inmarsat?
• Global: Footprint covers where customers want to go• Consistent: Homogeneous network with consistent services;
data rates, service options• Secure: Terrestrial infrastructure allows for secure routing• Future-proof: Migration to GX for non-safety related
communications
Why has Eclipse needed to innovative in these solutions
• Lack of uptake in airborne satcom by EMEA Defense Industry
• Delayed platform Deliveries (A-400M, P-8A, etc.) resulting in extended life of older platforms
• Defense budget cuts • Less development funding requires COTS understanding • Re-use of aircraft for multiple missions
• Smaller airborne platforms used by many countries• Smaller system footprint required• Some on-board systems not available
ISR Solution Examples
• Multiple Inmarsat Class terminals• Roll-on, roll-off bespoke solutions • Smaller roll-on, roll-off solutions • Separate roll-on, roll-off networking solutions specific
to customer mission needs • Satcom with nav data equipment (when not available
from the aircraft)• New hatch mount antenna • Terrestrial infrastructure to support specific customer
requirements
