  8. VREX Benefits • Test in Lab – Exercise signal processing software in the lab • Improve Radar Performance – High-fidelity target simulation – Stress testing with many targets • Lower Cost, Risk, and Schedule – Decouples radar software and hardware development – Reduces testing at remote sites – Reduce time required to test a new release – Run on commercial off-the-shelf hardware • Design and Demonstrate Next Generation Sensors & C2 – Using model-based engineering – Distributed REX DFARS – SBIR Data Rights; 03 May 2012 www.FishEye.net 8 FishEye Proprietary Information

  9. VREX Status & Objectives Air Force Phase II Contract Award: May 23 rd 2013 18-month to • continue development and transition VREX to an operational radar • VREX Status: Working Phase II SBIR project to demonstrate: – Operational VREX architecture, – Simulated front-end radar to drive VREX, – Configurable front-to-back-end interface – Real-time data capture for run-time analysis, – Real-time rule engine to enable configurable equipment simulation – External algorithm interface (for use in connecting to 3 rd party signal processing or real-time simulations) • Looking for Radars: Air Force looking for operational or in- development radars to leverage & transition the Phase II technology DFARS – SBIR Data Rights; 03 May 2012 www.FishEye.net 9 FishEye Proprietary Information
