The Government of Egypt—8 Sentinel
AN/MPQ–64F1 Radars and Related
Equipment and Support
The Government of Egypt has
requested a possible sale of eight (8)
Sentinel AN/MPQ–64F1 Radars and
software and training, as well as spares
and support equipment, technical
manuals, Single Channel Ground and
Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS)
VRC–92E Radios, 16 High Mobility
Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles
(HMMWV) Ml 152 with Shelter Carrier
Kit, U.S. Government and contractor
support, training and other associated
support, equipment and services. The
total estimated value of MDE is $40
million. The total overall estimated cost
is $70 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 strategic
partner that has been and continues to
be an important force for political
stability and economic progress in the
Middle East.
The Government of Egypt intends to
expand its existing air defense
architecture to counter threats posed by
air attack. This will contribute to
Egypt’s military goal of updating its
capabilities while further enhancing
interoperability among Egypt, the
United States, and other allies. Egypt
will have no difficulty absorbing this
equipment into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor involved in
this program is Thales Raytheon
Systems, Fullerton, California. There are
no known offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require ten (10) U.S. Government or
contractor representatives to travel to
Egypt for a period of 8 weeks for
equipment checkout and training.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. The AN/MPQ–64 Sentinel Radar
System is a fielded air defense radar
system in the Army inventory. Sentinel
is a derivative of the AN/TPQ–36
Firefinder System used for artillery
detection and the AN/TPQ–36A
Norwegian adapted Hawk system. The
Sentinel radar (AN/MPQ–64) is the
sensor for the Short Range Air Defense
(SHORAD) weapon systems, including
the Avenger and any ground launcher
Stinger platforms. Sentinel is a mobile
phased array radar that provides highly
accurate 3 dimensional radar track data
to using systems via the Forward Area
Air Defense (FAAD) Command, Control,
and Intelligence (C2I) node. Sentinel’s
detection range, mobility, and 360
degree azimuth coverage allow it to
support SHORAD weapons located
throughout the division area. Sentinel
acquires, tracks, and reports cruise
missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles,
fixed and rotary wing aircraft in clutter
and electronic counter measures
environments. The Sentinel Export
configuration (AN/MPQ–64Fl) is a
derivative of the U.S. Army’s Improved
Sentinel Radar.
2. The Sentinel consists of a radarbased sensor system with the Ml 152
HMMWV as the prime mover and the
MEP–1041 Advanced Mobile Medium
Power Source (AMMPS) Tactical Quiet
Generator as the power source. The
sensor is an advanced battlefield radar
capable of X-Band air defense phasedarray with an instrumented range of 75
kilometers with a rotating antenna
providing 360 degree azimuth coverage
for acquisition and tracking.
3. Sentinel has only one item
currently designated Critical Program
Information (CPI) and that is the
Sentinel software modules containing
routines for electronic counter-counter
measures (ECCM) that have been
determined to be CPI.
4. These items are classified IAW EO
12958 section 1.5, Classification
categories as category 1.5(e) because
they contain scientific, technological, or
economic matters relative to the
national security. Reports, test data, and
all Sentinel related media that discloses
operational parameters, performance,
characteristics, ECCM techniques,
vulnerabilities, limitations or
performance weaknesses shall be
classified at the highest level based on
PO 00000

the information being conveyed as
referenced in the Sentinel Security
Classification Guide. Distribution of
technical performance and system
capabilities reports and data shall only
be released up to the CONFIDENTIAL
level. It is not possible to obtain the
Sentinel wartime reserved frequencies
by reverse engineering, testing, or
analyzing the unclassified Sentinel end
item.
5. All defense articles and services
listed in this transmittal are authorized
for release and export to the
Government of Egypt.
