Sight/AN/AAQ–11 Modernized Pilot
Night Vision Sensor (MTADS/MPNVS)
provides day, night, limited adverse
weather target information, as well as
night navigation capabilities. The
MPNVS provides thermal imaging that
permits nap-of-the-earth flight to, from,
and within the battle area, while
MTADS provides the co-pilot gunner
with search, detection, recognition, and
designation by means of Direct View
Optics (DVO), television, and Forward
Looking Infrared (FLIR) sighting systems
that may be used singularly or in
combinations. Hardware is Unclassified.
Technical manuals for authorized
maintenance levels are Unclassified.
Reverse engineering is not a major
concern.
c. The AAR–57(V)7 Common Missile
Warning System (CMWS) detects energy
emitted by threat missile in-flight,
evaluates potential false alarm emitters
in the environment, declares validity of
threat and selects appropriate countermeasures. The CMWS consists of an
Electronic Control Unit (ECU), ElectroOptic Missile Sensors (EOMSs), and
Sequencer and Improved
Countermeasures Dispenser (ICMD).
The ECU hardware is classified
Confidential; releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance
are classified Secret.
d. The AN/APR–39A(V)4 Radar
Signal Detecting Set is a system, that
provides warning of a radar directed air
defense threat and allow appropriate
countermeasures. This is the 1553
databus compatible configuration. The
hardware is classified Confidential
when programmed with U.S. threat
data; releasable technical manuals for
operation and maintenance are
classified Confidential; releasable
technical data (technical performance)
is classified Secret.
e. The AN/AVR–2B Laser Detecting
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.
f. The AN/ALQ–136(V)5 Radar
Jammer, or equivalent, is an automatic
radar jammer that analyzes various
incoming radar signals. When threat
signals are identified and verified,
jamming automatically begins and
continues until the threat radar breaks
lock. The hardware is classified
Confidential; releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance

are classified Secret; releasable
technical data (technical performance)
is classified Secret.
g. The Integrated Helmet Display
Sight System (IHDSS–21) is an
enhanced version of its predecessor. It
will provide improved operational
performance primarily in resolution
allowing greater utilization of the
MTADS/MPNVS performance
enhancements. The hardware is
Unclassified.
h. The highest level for release of the
AGM–114R HELLFIRE II missile is
Secret, based upon the software. The
highest level of classified information
that could be disclosed by a proposed
sale or by testing of the end item is
Secret; the highest level that must be
disclosed for production, maintenance,
or training is Confidential. Reverse
engineering could reveal Confidential
information. Vulnerability data,
countermeasures, vulnerability/
susceptibility analyses, and threat
definitions are classified Secret or
Confidential.
i. The FIM–92H STINGER Block 1
Reprogrammable Micro Processor (RMP)
(less module) missile is an advanced,
‘‘fire and forget,’’ short-range, air
defense weapon system. It provides lowaltitude defense for ground forces
against attack or aerial observation by
low-flying Unmanned Aerial System,
Cruise Missile, Rotary Wing, and FixedWing threats. The STINGER employs an
infrared heat seeking/ultraviolet seeker
to guide to the target. The STINGER
Block I missile has an extensive infrared
counter-countermeasure capability and
can engage targets from any aspect to
include head-on. The missile utilizes a
high-explosive, hit-to-kill warhead. The
FIM–92 STINGER RMP Block I missile
can be fired from a variety of platforms
to include vehicles and helicopters. The
hardware is classified Confidential. The
highest classification of data and
information is Secret; and the Captive
Flight Trainer has a classification of
Confidential.
j. The M211-flare is a countermeasure
decoy in a 1″x1″x8″ form factor in an
aluminum case cartridge. It consists of
case, piston, special material payload
foils, and end cap. The special material
is a pyrophoric metal (iron) foil that
reacts with oxygen to generate infrared
energy. The M211 decoys are dispersed
from an aircraft to be used as a decoy
in combination with the currently
fielded M206 and M212 countermeasure
flares to protect against advanced air-toair and surface-to-air missile threats.
The hardware is Unclassified and

releasable technical manuals for
operation and maintenance are
classified Secret.
k. The M212 flare is a multi-spectral
countermeasure flare in a 1″x1″x8″ form
factor in an aluminum case cartridge. It
consists of a case, impulse cartridge,
Safe and Ignition (S&I), a propellant
grain and a forward brass closure which
acts as a weight to improve
aerodynamics of the decoy. The M212
flares are dispersed from an aircraft and
used in combination with the currently
fielded M206 and M211 countermeasure
flares and decoys to protect against
advanced air-to-air and surface-to-air
missile threats. The hardware is
Unclassified and releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance
are 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 weapon system
effectiveness or be used in the
development of a system with similar or
advanced capabilities.
