The estimated cost is $1.0 billion. The Government of the Republic of Korea is one of the major political and economic powers in East Asia and the Western Pacific and a key partner of the United States in ensuring peace and stability in that region. It is vital to the U.S. national interest to assist our Korean ally in developing and maintaining a strong and ready selfdefense capability, which will contribute to an acceptable military balance in the area. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives. The proposed sale of the MH–60R SEAHAWK helicopter will improve South Korea’s capability to meet current and future threats from enemy AntiSurface Warfare (ASW) capabilities. The sale of these MH–60R helicopters will enhance interoperability with U.S. Naval forces, and add to the military stability of the region. Korea will have no difficulty absorbing these helicopters into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this system and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The prime contractors will be Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in Stratford, Connecticut; Lockheed Martin in Owego, New York; and General Electric in Lynn, Massachusetts. There are no offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale. Implementation of this proposed sale will require multiple trips to Korea involving U.S. Government or contractor representatives on a temporary basis for program and technical support, and management oversight. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:12 May 25, 2012 Jkt 226001 Annex Item No. vii (vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 1.

It is equipped for a range of missions including: antisubmarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASuW), search and rescue (SAR), naval gunfire support, surveillance, communications relay, logistics support, personnel transfer, and vertical replenishment. The navigation suite includes an LN–100G dual embedded global positioning system and inertial navigation system. The helicopter is equipped with a fully digital communications suite with ARC–210 radios for Ultra High Frequency/Very High Frequency voice communications, and an L–3 Communications Ku-band Data Link. The helicopter is fitted with the AN/ AAS–44 Multi-Spectral Targeting System (MTS), AN/ALQ–210 electronic support measures system (ESM), and AN/APS–153 Multi-Mode Radar (MMR). The electronic warfare systems include the AN/AAR–47 missile warning system, AN/ALQ–144 infrared jammer, Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode-4 and AN/ALE–47 chaff and flare decoy dispenser. The MH–60R, including the mission equipment, is classified Secret. 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 which might reduce weapons systems effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or advanced capabilities.
