Policy Justification
United Arab Emirates—MIDS/LVT LINK
16 Terminals
The Government of the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) has requested a possible
sale of 107 Link 16 Multifunctional
Information Distribution System/Low
Volume Terminals (MIDS/LVT) to be
installed on the United Arab Emirates
F–16 aircraft and ground command and
control sites, engineering/integration
services, aircraft modification and
installation, testing, spare and repair
parts, support equipment, repair and
return support, personnel training,
contractor engineering and technical
support, interface with ground
command and control centers and
ground repeater sites, and other related
elements of program support. The
estimated cost is $401 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:29 Sep 28, 2011
Jkt 223001
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a friendly
country that has been, and continues to
be an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Middle East.
The MIDS terminal will increase pilot
operational effectiveness by at-a-glance
portrayal of targets, threats, and friendly
forces on an easy-to-understand relative
position display. This proposed system
will increase combat effectiveness while
reducing the threat of friendly fire. The
system will foster interoperability with
the U.S. Air Force and other countries.
The MIDS/LVT will provide allied
forces greater situational awareness in
any coalition operation. The United
Arab Emirates will have no difficulty
absorbing this additional capability into
its Air Force.
The proposed sale of this weapon
system will not alter the basic military
balance in the region.
There are several manufacturers of the
Link 16 MIDS–LVT. A prime contractor
will be selected during the negotiating
process. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require the assignment of
additional U.S. Government and
contractor representatives to the UAE.
The number of U.S. Government and
contractor representatives will be
determined in joint negotiations as the
program proceeds through the
development, production, and
equipment installation phases.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.
Transmittal No. 11–17
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 Multifunctional Information
Distribution System/Low Volume
Terminals (MIDS–LVT) Communication
Security (COMSEC) device provides
improved situational awareness and
sensor cueing in support of air
superiority and interdiction missions.
The Link 16 tactical data link provides
networking with other Link 16-capable
aircraft, command, and control systems.
The MIDS/LVT and MIDS On Ship
Terminal hardware, publications,
performance specifications, operational
capability, parameters, vulnerabilities to
countermeasures, and software
documentation are classified
Confidential. The classified information
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703

to be provided consists of that which is
necessary for the operation,
maintenance, and repair (through
intermediate level) of the data link
terminal, installed systems, and related
software.
2. 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
weapon system effectiveness or be used
in the development of a system with
similar or advanced capabilities.
