(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The Javelin Weapon System’s
hardware and the documentation
provided are unclassified. However,
sensitive technology is contained within
the system itself. The sensitivity is
primarily in the software programs that
instruct the system how to operate in
the presence of countermeasures.
Programs are contained in the system in
the form of microprocessors with Read
Only Memory (ROM) maps, which do
not provide the software program itself.
The overall hardware is considered
sensitive in that the modulation
frequency and infrared wavelengths
could be used in countermeasure
development. The benefits to be derived
from the sale, as outlined in the policy
justification of this notification,
outweigh the potential damage that
could result if technology were to be
revealed to unauthorized persons.
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 that might
reduce weapon system effectiveness or
