equipment, publications and technical
data, U.S. Government and contractor
technical services, and other related
elements of logistics and program
support. The estimated cost is $457
million.
The proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve security of a NATO ally which
continues to be an important force for
political stability and economic
progress. The proposed sale of weapons,
equipment, and support for the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
transferred F–16s will support
Romania’s needs for its own self-defense
and enhance the interoperability of
these aircraft with those of the U.S. and
other NATO nations.
The proposed sale will support the
Romanian Air Force’s (RoAF) efforts to
equip and utilize the 12 F–16 aircraft it
is procuring from Portugal. These
aircraft will provide the RoAF with a
fleet of modernized multi-role combat
aircraft. This proposed sale of weapons,
equipment, and follow-on F–16 support
will enable Romania to support both its
own air defense needs and coalition
operations. The RoAF will have no
difficultly absorbing these systems into
its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this follow-on
support will not alter the basic military
balance in the region. The principal
contractors will be:
Elbit Systems of America Fort Worth,
Texas
Pratt and Whitney East Hartford,
Connecticut
BAE Systems Inc. Arlington, Virginia
Lockheed Martin Corp. Fort Worth,
Texas
Northrup Grumman Aerospace Systems
Redondo Beach, California
ViaSat Inc. Carlsbad, California
Data Link Solutions LLC Cedar Rapids,

Snap-On Inc. Kenosha, Wisconsin
Booz Allen Hamilton Engineering
Services, LLC McLean, Virginia
There are no known offset agreements
proposed in connection with this
potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of
additional U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to Romania.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

is classified Secret.
2. The LAU–129 Guided Missile
Launcher is capable of launching the
AIM–9 family of missile or AIM–120
Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air
Missile (AMRAAM). The LAU–129
launcher provides mechanical and
electrical interface between missile and
aircraft. There are five versions
produced strictly for foreign military
sales. The only difference between these
launchers is the material they are coated
with or the color of the coating.
3. The AIM–120 AMRAAM is a radarguided missile featuring digital
technology and micro-miniature solidstate electronics. The AMRAAM
capabilities include look-down/shootdown, multiple launches against
multiple targets, resistance to electronic
countermeasures, and interception of
high- and low-flying and maneuvering
targets. The AMRAAM All Up Round
(AUR) is classified Confidential, major
components and subsystems range from
Unclassified to Confidential, and
technical data and other documentation
are classified up to Secret.

5. AGM–65 Maverick: The AGM–65
air-to-ground missile hardware is
Unclassified, but has an overall
classification of Secret. The Secret
aspects of the Maverick system are
tactics, information revealing its
vulnerability to countermeasures, and
counter-countermeasures. Manuals and
technical documents that are necessary
for operational use and organizational
maintenance have portions that are
classified Confidential. Performance and
operating logic of countermeasures
circuits are Secret.
6. The Multifunctional Information
Distribution System-Low Volume
Terminal (MIDS–LVT) is an advanced
Link-16 command, control,
communications, and intelligence (C3I)
system incorporating high-capacity,
jam-resistant, digital communication
links for exchange of near real-time
tactical information, including both data
and voice, among air, ground, and sea
elements. MIDS–LVT is intended to
support key theater functions such as
surveillance, identification, air control,
weapons engagement coordination, and
direction for all services and allied
forces. The system will provide
jamming-resistant, wide-area
communications on a Link-16 network
among MIDS and Joint Tactical
Information Distribution System (JTIDS)
equipped platforms. The MIDS/LVT and

LN–260 is Unclassified. The GPS crypto
variable keys needed for highest GPS
accuracy are classified up to Secret.
8. The ALQ–131 is a pod-mounted
Receiver/Processor that detects,
analyzes, identifies and prioritizes
threat radars for effective jamming. The
Receiver/Processor is a wideband,
frequency agile super heterodyne
receiver with a self-contained processor
for signal sorting and threat ID. It
provides the jammer with power
management while look-through
maximizes jammer effectiveness. It has
been a standard jamming system for
USAF and 11 other countries.
9. 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
be used in the development of a system
with similar advanced capabilities.
10. A determination has been made
that the recipient country can provide
the same degree of protection for the
sensitive technology being released as
the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objectives outlined in the Policy
Justification.
