Qatar—AN/AAQ–24(V) Large Aircraft
Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM)
Systems
The Government of Qatar has
requested a possible sale of 2 AN/AAQ–
24(V) Large Aircraft Infrared
Countermeasures (LAIRCM) Systems for
B747–800 Aircraft, 11 Small Laser
Transmitter Assemblies, 3 System
Processors/Repeaters, 14 AN/AAR–54

documents, personnel training and
training equipment, U.S. Government
and contractor technical assistance, and
other related elements of logistics and
program support. The estimated cost is
$110 million.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of a friendly
country which has been, and continues
to be, an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Middle East.
Qatar requests these capabilities to
provide for the protection of its head-ofstate aircraft fleet. LAIRCM will provide
increased protection from missile
threats. The proposed purchase of
LAIRCM will enhance the safety of
Qatar’s political leadership, promoting
stability and global engagement of a
friendly country.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The prime contractor will be Northrop
Grumman Corporation of Rolling
Meadows, Illinois. There are no known
offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to travel to
Qatar for a period of 10 years to provide
program and technical support and
training.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Arms Export Control Act
Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AN/AAQ–24(V) LAIRCM is a
self-contained, directed energy
countermeasures system designed to
protect aircraft from infrared-guided
surface-to-air missiles. The system
features digital technology and microminiature solid-state electronics. The
system operates in all conditions,
detecting incoming missiles and
jamming infrared-seeker equipped
missiles with aimed bursts of laser
energy.
2. LAIRCM system software,
including Operational Flight Program
and jam codes, is classified Secret.
3. 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

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of
the estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the information collection on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has approved this information
collection for use through July 31, 2013.
DoD proposes that OMB extend its
approval for use for 3 additional years

Needs and Uses: DFARS Subparts
227.71 and 227.72 prescribe the use of
solicitation provisions and contract
clauses containing information
collection requirements that are
associated with rights in technical data
and computer software. DoD needs this
information to implement 10 U.S.C.
2320, Rights in technical data, and 10
U.S.C. 2321, Validation of proprietary
data restrictions. DoD uses the
information to recognize and protect
contractor rights in technical data and
computer software that are associated
with privately funded developments;
and to ensure that technical data
delivered under a contract are complete
and accurate and satisfy contract
requirements.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit and not-for-profit institutions.

Summary of Information Collection
DoD uses the following DFARS
provisions and clauses in solicitations
and contracts to require offerors and
contractors to identify and mark data or
software requiring protection from
unauthorized release or disclosure in
accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:14 May 22, 2013
Jkt 229001
252.227–7013, Rights in Technical
Data—Noncommercial Items.
252.227–7014, Rights in
Noncommercial Computer Software and
Noncommercial Computer Software
Documentation.
252.227–7017, Identification and
Assertion of Use, Release, or Disclosure
Restrictions.
252.227–7018, Rights in
Noncommercial Technical Data and
Computer Software—Small Business
Innovation Research (SBIR) Program.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C.
2320(a)(2)(D), DoD may disclose limited
rights data to persons outside the
Government, or allow those persons to
use limited rights data, if the recipient
agrees not to further release, disclose, or
use the data. Therefore, the clause at
DFARS 252.227–7013, Rights in
Technical Data—Noncommercial Items,
requires the contractor to identify and
mark data or software that it provides
with limited rights.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2321(b),
contractors and subcontractors at any
tier must be prepared to furnish written
justification for any asserted restriction
on the Government’s rights to use or
release data. The following DFARS
clauses require contractors and
subcontractors to maintain adequate
records and procedures to justify any
asserted restrictions:
252.227–7019, Validation of Asserted
Restrictions—Computer Software.
252.227–7037, Validation of
Restrictive Markings on Technical Data.
In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2320,
DoD must protect the rights of
contractors that have developed items,
components, or processes at private
expense. Therefore, the clause at DFARS
252.227–7025, Limitations on the Use or
Disclosure of Government-Furnished
Information Marked with Restrictive
Legends, requires a contractor or
subcontractor to submit a use and nondisclosure agreement when it obtains
data from the Government to which the
Government has only limited rights.
The provision at DFARS 252.227–
7028, Technical Data or Computer
Software Previously Delivered to the
Government, requires an offeror to
identify any technical data or computer
software that it previously delivered, or
will deliver, under any Government
contract. DoD needs this information to
avoid paying for rights in technical data
or computer software that the
Government already owns.
