support services, and other related
element of program and logistics
support. The estimated cost is $700
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 in North Africa.
The proposed sale will improve
Tunisia’s capability to deter regional
threats and strengthen its homeland
defense, as well as support counterterrorism operations. The sale of these
UH–60 helicopters will bolster Tunisia’s
ability to provide border patrol, rapid
reaction, and field expedient medical
evacuation for its air and ground forces
in counter-terrorism and border security
operations.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be
Sikorsky Aircraft Company in Stratford,
Connecticut; and General Electric
Aircraft Company in Lynn,
Massachusetts. There are no known
offset agreements in connection with
this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
may require the assignment of an
additional three U.S. Government and
five contractor representatives in
Tunisia to support the delivery and
training for approximately two–five
years.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

2. The CN–1689–(H–764GU)
Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) unit contains
sensitive GPS technology. This GPS unit
will have a Standard Positioning System
configuration.
3. The AN/AVS–6 Night Vision
Goggles are sensitive.
4. The AN/AAR–57 Common Missile
Warning Systems (CMWS) detects
energy emitted by threat missile inflight, evaluates potential false alarm
emitters in the environment, declares
validity of threat and selects appropriate
counter-measures. The CMWS consists
of an Electronic Control Unit (ECU),
Electro-Optic Missile Sensors (EOMSs),
and Sequencer and Improved
Countermeasures Dispenser (ICMD).
The ECU hardware is classified
Confidential; and releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance
are classified Secret.
5. The AN/APR–39A(V)4 Radar
Warning Receivers provide warning of a
radar directed air defense threat and
allows 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.
6. The AN/AVR–2B(V)1 Laser

reveal Confidential information.
Vulnerability data, countermeasures,
vulnerability/susceptibility analyses,
and threat definitions are classified up
to Secret.
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 or
equivalent systems which might reduce
weapon system effectiveness or be used
