10 Wyle s Unique Capabilities Wyle provides planning and analysis expertise in virtually every area related to aviation environmental services, including the development of Air and Range Installation Compatible Use Zone Studies (AICUZ & RAICUZ) Wyle has experts in conducting various noise and Accident Potential Zone (APZ) analyses in support of AICUZ/RAICUZ studies. October

11 Wyle s Unique Capabilities Wyle developed the tools / models that are being widely used by the DOD in the development of noise exposure contours for military installations, including: NOISEMAP and MR_NMAP Wyle is developing the DOD s next generation noise simulation model; the Advanced Acoustics Model (AAM) October

12 Wyle s Unique Capabilities Wyle is the prime coordinator of the DOD s Defense Noise Working Group, which is a body comprising all major services coordinating the DOD policy on noise exposure and land-use Wyle continues to play key roles in various national and international forums and organizations, including the FAA Center of Excellence for Aircraft Noise and Aviation Emissions Mitigation, the NextGen Institute, and the Society of Automotive Engineers October

13 Wyle s Past Performance Wyle has conducted over 200 studies in support of AICUZ/RAICUZ, JLUS, and NEPA efforts over more than two decades Wyle has produced scores of noise and accident potential zone studies and has played major roles in recommending mitigation measures for both military and civilian customers October

14 Wyle s Core Capabilities Who We Are Integrity Wyle takes seriously its responsibility as an independent evaluator of critical components and systems. The Company does not design or manufacture components or systems for which it tests, and has no conflict of interest. Wyle s employees are honest and ethical and we strive to produce high-quality work, on-time, within budget, and with customer satisfaction as the ultimate objective. Ethics Wyle is committed to the uncompromising integrity and the highest standards of ethical practices and business conduct on the part of all employees.

Ethics and compliance are vital to Wyle s continuation of current contracts and the award of future contracts. October

15 OSB Study -- Scope 1. Overview of OSB history, mission, and training details 2. Reporting and analysis of all known OSB operational data from as early as 1975 from available data to current. Data shall include, but not limited to, aircraft type, sorties, flying hours, flight tracks, noise contours, and reasons for any fluctuations, if known 3. Safety precautions implemented for OSB 4. Analysis of general United States Air Force (USAF) mishap data from as early as 1975 and a comparison to DMAFB-specific pertinent mishap data 5. Based on available data, recommendations to mitigate perceived quality of life concerns of excessive noise from operations and safety concerns related to perceptions that pilots who temporarily train at DMAFB are properly following specific safety precautions October
