Policy Justification
United Arab Emirates—UH–60M
BLACKHAWK Helicopters
The Government of the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) has requested a possible
sale of 5 UH–60M BLACKHAWK VIP
helicopters, 12 T700–GE–701D engines
(10 installed and 2 spares), 6 AN/APR–
39A(V)4 Radar Signal Detecting Sets, 80
AN/AVS–9 Night Vision Devices, 6 Star
Safire III Forward Looking Infrared
Radar Systems, 6 AAR–57(V)3 Common
Missile Warning Systems, 6 AN/AVR–
2B Laser Warning Sets, C406 Electronic
Locator Transmitters, Traffic Collision
Avoidance Systems and Weather
Radars, Aviation Mission Planning
Station, government furnished
equipment, ferry support, spare and
repair parts, publications and technical
documentation, support equipment,
personnel training and training
equipment, ground support,
communications equipment, U.S.
Government and contractor technical
and logistics support services, tools and
test equipment, and other related
elements of logistics support. The
estimated cost is $217 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by meeting the
legitimate security and defense needs of
a partner nation that, has been and
continues to be an important force for
peace, political stability, and economic
progress in the Middle East.
The UAE will use these helicopters
for intra-country transportation of UAE
officials to militarily critical training
and operation sites. The UH–60M
BLACKHAWK helicopters will enhance
the safety of key UAE personnel by
providing for the detection and
avoidance of rocket/missile attacks by
indigenous or foreign terrorist elements.
The UAE will have no difficulty
absorbing these helicopters into its
armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be:
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation of
Stratford, Connecticut, and General
Electric Aircraft Company of Lynn,
Massachusetts. The purchaser has

requested offsets; however, at this time,
agreements are undetermined and will
be defined in negotiations between the
purchaser and contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the deployment of a
minimum of two Contractor Field
Service representatives to the United
Arab Emirates for approximately two
years after initial fielding to assist in the
delivery and deployment of the
helicopters.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 10–79
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of
Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the
Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The UH–60M BLACKHAWK
helicopters contain communications
and identification equipment,
navigation equipment, aircraft
survivability equipment, displays and
sensors. The airframe itself does not
contain sensitive technology. The
highest level of classified information to
be released for training, operation and
maintenance of the BLACKHAWK
helicopters is Unclassified. The highest
level that could be revealed through
reverse engineering or testing of the end
item is Secret. The UH–60M BLACK
HAWK helicopters will include the
following pertinent equipment listed
below, either installed on the aircraft or
included in the proposed sale:
a. The AN/APR–39A(V)4 Radar Signal
Detecting Set is a system which
provides warning of a radar directed air
defense threat to allow appropriate
countermeasures. Hardware is classified
Confidential when programmed with
United States threat data; releasable
technical manuals for operation and
maintenance are classified Confidential;
releasable technical data (technical
performance) is classified Secret. The
system can be programmed with threat
data provided by the purchasing
country.
b. The AN/AVR–2B Laser Warning
Set is a passive laser warning system
that receives, processes and displays
threat information resulting from
aircraft illumination by lasers on the
multi-functional display. The hardware
is classified Confidential; releasable
technical manuals for operation and
maintenance are classified Secret.
Reverse engineering is not a major
concern.
c. The AAR–57 Common Missile
Warning System is a passive laser

warning system that receives, processes,
and displays threat information
resulting from aircraft illumination by
lasers on the multi-functional display.
The Dispenser components and Payload
Module components dispense
expendables/decoys to enhance aircraft
survivability. The system is designed to
employ countermeasures according to a
program developed and implemented by
the aircrew. Radar cross-section and
frequency coverage are sensitive
elements. The hardware is Unclassified.
Releasable technical publications for
operation and maintenance are
classified Secret. Aircraft optimization
is the critical element; reverse
engineering is not a major concern.
Additional components are the Control
Panel and the Electronics Module that
have been integrated in the Weapons
Management and Control software.
d. The Star Safire III Electro-Optical
System is a long-range, multi-sensor
infrared imaging radar system. It is
considered non-standard equipment for
the UH–60 BLACKHAWK helicopter. It
will be used to enhance night flying and
provide a level of safety for the VIP
passengers during night flights. The
hardware is Unclassified. Rangefinder
performance and signal transfer
function for the Infrared Imager are
considered Confidential.
2. If a technologically advanced
adversary were to obtain knowledge of
the specific hardware or software in this
proposed sale, the information could be
used to develop countermeasures which
might reduce weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advance capabilities.
