The sale consists of: twenty (20) Small Laser Transmitter Assemblies, ten (10) System Processors, and thirty (30) AN/AAR–54 Missile Warning System sensors.

The system features digital technology and micro-miniature solid-state electronics. The system operates in all conditions, detecting incoming missiles PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and jamming infrared-seeker equipped missiles with aimed bursts of laser energy. The DIRCM system consists of multiple missile warning sensors (AAR– 54), one or more Small Laser Turret Assemblies (SLTA), a System Processor (SP) computer, a Control Indicator (CI), and a classified User Data Memory (UDM) card containing the laser jamming codes. The UDM card is loaded into the SP prior to flight; when not in use, the UDM card is removed from the SP and put in secure storage. The AAR– 54 missile warning sensors are mounted on the aircraft exterior to provide omnidirectional protection. The sensors detect the rocket plume of missiles and sends appropriate data signals to the CP for processing. The CP analyzes the data from each sensor and automatically deploys the appropriate countermeasure via the SLTA. The CI displays the incoming threat to allow the pilot to take additional appropriate action. The SP also contains Built-In-Test (BIT) circuitry. DIRCM hardware and software, including Operational Flight Program and jam codes are classified Secret. The technical data and documentation to be provided are Unclassified. If a technologically advanced adversary were to obtain knowledge of the specific hardware and software elements, the information could be used to develop countermeasures or equivalent systems which might reduce system effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or advanced capabilities. A determination has been made that the UAE can provide the same degree of protection for the sensitive technology being released as the U.S. Government. This sale is necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have been authorized for release and export to the UAE.
