Policy Justification
pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES
The Philippines—AN/SPS–77 Sea
Giraffe 3D Air Search Radars
The Government of the Philippines
has requested a possible sale of two (2)
AN/SPS–77 Sea Giraffe 3D Air Search
Radars, support services, including
installation services, operator training,
system operational testing, and
documentation. The total estimated
program cost is $25 million.
The Philippines seeks to increase its
Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)
capabilities in order to improve
monitoring of its vast territorial seas and
Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). An
effective Philippine MDA capability
strengthens its self-defense capabilities
and supports regional stability and U.S.
national interests. This sale is consistent
with U.S. regional objectives and will
further enhance interoperability with
the U.S. Navy, build upon a
longstanding cooperative effort with the

Jkt 241001
United States, and provide an enhanced
capability with a valued partner in a
geographic region of critical importance
to the U.S. government.
The AN/SPS–77 Air Search Radars
will be used to provide an enhanced
ability to detect and track air contacts.
The radars will be installed on two
Hamilton-class cutters acquired through
the Excess Defense Articles (EDA)
program. The Philippines 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 will be VSE
and Saab. 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
U.S. or contractor representatives to the
Philippines. U.S. contractors, under
U.S. government oversight, will be in
the Philippines for installation and
associated support of this new radar on
these Philippine Navy ships.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

Annex Item No. vii
(vii) Sensitivity of Technology:
1. A completely assembled AN/SPS–
77 radar, which is a commercial product
that is outfitted on USN LCS class ships,
will be tailored for release to the
Philippine Navy under this program.
The operating characteristics and
capability of this system as it will be
delivered to the Philippines Navy will
be UNCLASSIFIED.
2. AN/SPS–77 operation and
maintenance documentation, software,
and support is UNCLASSIFIED.
3. If a technologically advanced
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 or advanced capabilities.
4. A determination has been made
that the Philippines can provide
substantially the same degree of
protection for the sensitive technology
being released 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.
