1. AN/AAR–57—Common Missile
Warning System (CMWS)—The
Common Missile Warning System
(CMWS) provides superior detection of
infrared missile threats for rotary-wing,
transport, and tactical aircraft. It is the
detection component of a suite of
countermeasures to increase
survivability of current generation
combat, airlift, and special operations
aircraft against the threat posed by
infrared guided missiles. It also
provides automatic, passive missile
detection, threat declaration, crew
warning, software reprograming, false
alarm suppression and cues to other onboard systems, such as dispensers,
which may be utilized for flare decoys.
Each platform includes: Electro-optical
Missile Sensors, and Electronic Control
Unit (ECU), Sequencer, and the
Improved Countermeasures Dispenser
(ICMD). The ECU hardware is classified
CONFIDENTIAL; releasable technical
manuals for operation and maintenance
are classified SECRET.

(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

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.
