requirements. The transponder’s opensystem architecture design and highdensity field programmable gate array
technology ensures ongoing versatility
and future utility through software
upgrades, without the risk and cost
associated with hardware modifications.
The hardware is classified as
Unclassified and associated keymat is
classified as Secret.
7. The AN/ARN–153 is a full featured
Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN)
system capable of supporting the
operational requirements of high
performance aircraft in a lightweight
compact design. The AN/ARN–153
supports four modes of operation:
receive mode; transmit-receive mode;
air-to-air receive mode; and air-to-air
transmit-receive mode. The system is
Unclassified.
8. The AN/ARN–147 system combines
all VHF Omni Ranging/Instrument
Landing System (VOR/ILS) functions
into one compact, lightweight, low-cost
set. It is the first militarized VHF
navigation receiver to provide optional
internal MIL–STD–1553B capability.
The solid-state system is MIL–E–5400
class II qualified and meets
international operability requirements
by providing 50-kHz channel spacing
for 160–VOR and 40-localizer/
glideslope channels. Digital and analog
outputs of the AN/ARN–147 ensure
compatibility with high-performance
flight control systems and both digital
and analog instruments. Modular
construction techniques give you quick
access to all cards and modules to
reduce repair time. The system is
Unclassified.
9. The AN/ARC–210 multimode
integrated communications system is
designed to provide multimode voice
and data communications in either
normal or jam-resistant modes in lineof-sight mode. The system is capable of
establishing 2-way communication links
over the 30 to 512MHz frequency range
with tactical aircraft environments. The
system is Unclassified.
10. The AN/APN–194 Radar Altimeter
Receiver-Transmitter is a highresolution device which measures
altitude from 0 to 5,000 ft. Above
Ground Level (AGL). The radar
altimeter measures the time (analogous
to distance) required for a pulse of
electromagnetic energy to travel from
the aircraft to the ground and back to
the aircraft. The AN/APN–194 employs
a narrow-pulse transmission in the C-

band range with leading edge tracking of
the echo pulse. Altitude range
information is obtained by comparing
the received echo pulse with a timed
ramp voltage generated simultaneously
with the transmitted pulse. The output
of the AN/APN–194 is fed into the
autopilot of the target to control the
altitude of low-flying targets. The
system is Unclassified.
11. The AN/ASN–163 is a 5-channel
Miniature Airborne GPS Receiver
(MAGR) that provides Over-TheHorizon and secure navigation
capabilities using satellite information.
The hardware is classified as
Unclassified and associated keymat is
classified as Confidential.
12. The AN/AVS–9 is a dual tube
night vision goggle. Third generation
image intensifiers are standard for
military night vision. The goggle offers
high resolution, high gain,
photoresponse to near infrared, and
exceptional reliability. There are helmet
mount configurations designed for
fixed-wing and rotary-wing
applications, adapting to most aviator
helmets. The system is Unclassified.
13. Joint Mission Planning System
(JMPS) is a Windows7, PC-based
common approach for aircraft mission
planning. It is a system of common and
host-platform-unique mission planning
applications for Navy and Marine Corps
aircraft. Using a ‘‘building block’’
approach, developers integrate and
assemble a JMPS Mission Planning
Environment (MPE) from a set of
software sub-components to meet the
needs of a particular aircraft type. An
MPE consists of a framework, one or
more common components/federated
applications, and then a Unique
Planning Component (UPC).—The
foundation of an MPE is the framework,
which allows the host operating system
to interface and interact with the MPE.
The second level of an MPE consists of
the common components and/or
federated applications; these
applications provide functionality that
is common to multiple aircraft platforms
(i.e. weather or GPS munitions). The
final level of software is the UPC, which
provides platform-specific functionality
and integrates the common component
functions and the framework interface
to produce the overall mission planning
software environment for the platform.
When bundled, the three levels of
software become an MPE that is specific
to a single aircraft type. Depending on
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
the aircraft model, a JMPS MPE might
operate on stand-alone, locally
networked, or domain controlled
Windows 7 computers, or a mixture of
all three operating environments. The
system is Unclassified.
14. If a technologically advance
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.
15. A determination has been made
that Japan can provide substantially the
same degree of protection for the
sensitive information being released as
the U.S. Government. This sale is
necessary in furtherance of the U.S.
foreign policy and national security
objective outlined in the Policy
Justification.
16. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
authorized for release and export to the
Government of Japan.
