In a recent study [Rempel and Chian, Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 014101 (2007)], it has been shown that nonattracting chaotic sets (chaotic saddles) are responsible for intermittency in the regularized long-wave equation that undergoes a transition to spatiotemporal chaos (STC) via quasiperiodicity and temporal chaos. In the present paper, it is demonstrated that a similar mechanism is present in the damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation. Prior to the onset of STC, a spatiotemporally chaotic saddle coexists with a spatially regular attractor. After the transition to STC, the chaotic saddle merges with the attractor, generating intermittent bursts of STC that dominate the post-transition dynamics.
