Transmittal No. 16–23
Australia—GBU–39 (Small Diameter
Bomb Increment I)
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Policy Justification
Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of
Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the
Arms Export Control Act
The Government of Australia has
requested a possible sale of:
Major Defense Equipment (MDE):
Up to 2,950 GBU–39/B Small
Diameter Bomb I (SDB I)
Up to 50 Guided Test Vehicles (GTV)
with GBU–39 (T–1)/B (Inert Fuze)
This request also includes the
following Non-MDE: containers,
weapons system support equipment,
support and test equipment, site survey,
transportation, repair and return
warranties, spare and repair parts,
publications and technical data,
maintenance, personnel training, and
training equipment, U.S. Government
and contractor representative
engineering, logistics, and technical
support services, and other related
elements of logistics support.
The total estimated value of MDE is
$172 million. The total overall
estimated value is $386 million.
Australia is one of our most important
allies in the Western Pacific. The
strategic location of this political and
economic power contributes
significantly to ensuring peace and
economic stability in the region. This
proposed sale will contribute to the
foreign policy and national security of
the United States by helping to improve
the security of a major contributor to
political stability, security, and
economic development in the Pacific
region and globally.
The sale of SDB I supports and
complements the on-going sale of the F–
35 to the Royal Australian Air Force
(RAAF). This capability will strengthen
combined operations and increase
interoperability between the U.S. Air
Force and the RAAF. Australia will
have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
will not alter the basic military balance
in the region.
The principal contractor for
production is Boeing in St. Louis,
Missouri. The principal contractor for
integration is unknown and will be
determined during contract
negotiations. There are no known offset
agreements proposed in connection
with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will not require the assignment of any
additional U.S. or contractor
representatives to Australia.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Annex
Item No. vii
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. Sensitive and/or classified (up to
SECRET) elements of the proposed
acquisition include hardware,
accessories, components, and associated
software: GBU–39/B Small Diameter
Bomb Increment I (SDB I). Additional
sensitive areas include operating
manuals and maintenance technical
orders containing performance
information, operating and test
procedures, and other information
related to the support operations and
repair. The hardware, software, and data
identified are classified to protect
vulnerabilities, design and performance
parameters, and other similar critical
information.
2. The GBU–39/B Small Diameter
Bomb Increment I (SDB I) is a 250pound class weapon designed as a
small, all-weather, autonomous,
conventional, air-to-ground, precision
glide weapon able to strike fixed and
stationary re-locatable targets from
standoff range. The SDB I weapon
system consists of the weapons, the
BRU–61/A (4-place pneumatic carriage
system), shipping and handling
containers for a single weapon and the
BRU–61/A either empty or loaded, and
a weapon planning module. It has
integrated diamond-back type wings
that deploy after releases, which
increases the glide time and therefore
maximum range. The SDB I Anti-Jam
Global Positioning System aided Inertial
Navigation System (AJGPS/INS)
provides guidance to the coordinates of
a stationary target. The payload/
warhead is a very effective
multipurpose penetrating and blast
fragmentation warhead coupled with a
cockpit selectable electronic fuze. Its
size and accuracy allow for an effective
munition with less collateral damage. A
proximity sensor provides height of
burst capability.
3. A determination has been made
that the recipient country can provide
substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
associated with this system 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.
4. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal have been
