navigational system and a global
positioning system guidance control
unit, JDAM improves the accuracy of
unguided, general-purpose bombs in
any weather condition. JDAM can be
launched from very low to very high
altitudes in a dive, toss and loft, or in
straight and level flight with an on-axis
or off-axis delivery. JDAM enables
multiple weapons to be directed against
single or multiple targets on a single
pass. The JDAM All Up Round (AUR)
and all of its components are
Unclassified, and technical data for
JDAM is classified up to Secret.
2. The GBU–39 Small Diameter Bomb
(SDB) is a 250-lb class precision guided
munition that is intended to provide
aircraft with an ability to carry a high
number of bombs. The weapon offers
day- or night-, adverse weather-,
precision-engagement capability against
pre-planned fixed or stationary soft,
non-hardened, and hardened targets,
and provides greater than 50 Nautical
Miles of standoff range. Aircraft are able
to carry four SDBs in place of one 2,000lb bomb. The SDB is equipped with a
Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)-aided
inertial navigation system. The SDB and
all of its components are Unclassified;
technical data are classified up to
Secret.
3. The AIM–120C–7 Advanced
Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile
(AMRAAM) is a radar guided missile
featuring digital technology and microminiature solid-state electronics.
AMRAAM capabilities include lookdown/shoot-down, 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.
4. The DSU–38A/B is a laserilluminated target detector that adds a
Precision Laser Guidance Set (PLGS) to
inventory JDAMs, giving the weapon
system optional semi-active laser
guidance in addition to its other Global
Positioning System/Inrertial Navigation
System (GPS/INS) guidance modes. The
DSU–38A/B is a DSU–33 form-factored
passive laser seeker that can be easily
installed in the field to the front of
existing JDAM weapons and is
connected to the Guidance Set via an
externally mounted strap-on harness kit.
The DSU–38 provides an additional
capability to engage mobile targets
moving up to 70 mph. The addition of
the DSU–38 Laser sensor combined with

Policy Justification
Israel--Joint Direct Attack Munition Tail Kits and Munitions
The Government of Israel has requested a possible sale of 14,500
KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits consisting of
10,000 for Mk-84; 500 for Mk-83; and 4,000 for Mk-82; 3,500 Mk-82
bombs; 4,500 Mk-83 bombs; 50 BLU-113 bombs; 4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter
bombs; 1,500 Mk-83 Paveway kits; 700 BLU-109 Paveway kits; 3,000 AGM-
114K/R Hellfire Missiles, 250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air
Missiles; and 500 DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for
JDAMs. The total estimated cost $1.879 billion.
The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is
vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and
maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale
is consistent with those objectives.
The proposed sale of this equipment will provide Israel the ability
to support its self-defense needs. These munitions will enable Israel
to maintain operational capability of its existing systems and will
enhance Israel's interoperability with the United States. Israel, which
already has these munitions in its inventory, will have no difficulty
absorbing the additional munitions into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of these munitions will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be The Boeing Company in St.
Charles, Missouri; Lockheed-Martin Company in Archbald, Pennsylvania;
General Dynamics in Garland, Texas; Elwood National Forge Co. in
Irvine, Pennsylvania; and Raytheon Missile Systems in Tucson, Arizona.
There are no known offset agreements in connection with this proposed
sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale will require travel of U.S.
Government or contractor representatives to Israel on a temporary basis
for program technical support and management oversight.
There is no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of
this sale.

Annex
Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is a guidance tail kit
that converts unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse weather
``smart'' munitions. With the addition of a new tail section that
contains an inertial navigational system and a global positioning
system guidance control unit, JDAM improves the accuracy of unguided,
general-purpose bombs in any weather condition. JDAM can be launched
from very low to very high altitudes in a dive, toss and loft, or in
straight and level flight with an on-axis or off-axis delivery. JDAM
enables multiple weapons to be directed against single or multiple
targets on a single pass. The JDAM All Up Round (AUR) and all of its
components are Unclassified, and technical data for JDAM is classified
up to Secret.
2. The GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-lb class precision
guided munition that is intended to provide aircraft with an ability to
carry a high number of bombs. The weapon offers day- or night-, adverse
weather-, precision-engagement capability against pre-planned fixed or
stationary soft, non-hardened, and hardened targets, and provides
greater than 50 Nautical Miles of standoff range. Aircraft are able to
carry four SDBs in place of one 2,000-lb bomb. The SDB is equipped with
a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS)-aided inertial navigation system.
The SDB and all of its components are Unclassified; technical data are
classified up to Secret.
3. The AIM-120C-7 Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM)
is a radar guided missile featuring digital technology and micro-
miniature solid-state electronics. AMRAAM capabilities include look-
down/shoot-down, multiple launches against multiple targets, resistance
to electronic countermeasures, and interception of high- and low-flying

DSU-38 hardware is Unclassified; technical data and other documentation
are classified up to Secret.
5. The AGM-114R Hellfire II is an air-to-ground missile used
against heavy and light armored targets, thin-skinned vehicles, urban
structures, bunkers, caves and personnel. The missile is Inertial
Measurement Unit (IMU) based, with a variable delay fuse, improved

disclosed for production, maintenance, or training is Confidential.
Reverse engineering could reveal confidential information.
Vulnerability data, countermeasures, vulnerability/susceptibility
analyses, and threat definitions are classified Secret or Confidential.
6. If a technologically advanced adversary obtained knowledge of
the specific hardware and software elements in the systems described
above, 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 or advanced capabilities.
7. A determination has been made that Government of Israel can
provide substantially the same degree of protection of the sensitive
technology associated with these systems as the U.S. Government. This
proposed sale is necessary in furtherance of the U.S. foreign policy
and national security objectives outlined in the Policy Justification.
8. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal
have been authorized for release and export to the Government of
Israel.
