U.S. Strategic Command Strategic Advisory Group; Notice of Federal Advisory Committee Meeting, 14704-14705 [2017-05715]

Download as PDF 14704 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 22, 2017 / Notices (vi) Sales Commission, Fee, etc., Paid, Offered, or Agreed to be Paid: None (vii) Sensitivity of Technology Contained in the Defense Article or Defense Services Proposed to be Sold: See Attached Annex (viii) Date Report Delivered to Congress: March 16, 2017 * as defined in Section 47(6) of the Arms Export Control Act. POLICY JUSTIFICATION United Kingdom—Hellfire Missiles The Government of the United Kingdom (UK) requested a possible sale of 1,000 AGM–114–R1/R2 Hellfire II Semi-Active Laser (SAL) Missiles with logistics support services and other related program support. The estimated cost is $150 million. This proposed sale directly contributes to the foreign policy and national security policies of the United States by enhancing the close air support capability of the UK in support of NATO and other coalition operations. Commonality between close air support capabilities greatly increases interoperability between our two countries’ military and peacekeeping forces and allows for greater burden sharing. The proposed sale improves the UK’s capability to meet current and future threats by providing close air support to counter enemy attacks on coalition ground forces in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility (AOR) and other areas, as needed. The UK already has Hellfire missiles in its inventory and will have no difficulty absorbing these additional missiles. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. There is no principal contractor for this sale as the missiles are coming from U.S. stock. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to the UK. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. The SAL missile homes in on the laser energy reflected off a target that has been illuminated by a laser designator. The laser can be on either the launch platform or another platform that can be separated from it by several kilometers. The target sets are armor, bunkers, caves, enclosures, boats, and enemy personnel. The weapon system hardware, as an ‘‘All Up Round,’’ is UNCLASSIFIED. The highest level of classified information to be disclosed regarding the AGM–114–R1/R2 Hellfire II missile software is SECRET. The highest level of classified information that could be disclosed by a proposed sale or by testing of the end item is SECRET and the highest level that must be disclosed for production, maintenance, or training is CONFIDENTIAL. The AGM–114 R1/R2 Hellfire II missiles use pulse-coded laser illumination. The R2 variant includes a Height-of-Burst (HOB)/ proximity sensor. The AGM–114–R1/R2 missiles each have a multi-purpose selectable warhead and inertial measurement unit (IMU)-Aided Trajectories. The missiles United Kingdom operators employ are only handled by USAF personnel. The United Kingdom does not take possession of, or store the missile, and this policy has been in place since 2008. 2. If a technologically advanced adversary obtained knowledge of the specific hardware and software elements, the information could be used to develop countermeasures or equivalent systems which might reduce system effectiveness or be used in the development of a system with similar or advanced capabilities. 3. A determination has been made that the United Kingdom can provide substantially the same degree of protection for the AGM–114–R1/R2 Hellfire II missiles as the U.S. Government. Transfer of these missiles to the UK is necessary in the furtherance of U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives. 4. All defense articles and services listed in this transmittal have been authorized for release and export to the United Kingdom. asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Transmittal No. 17–02 [FR Doc. 2017–05646 Filed 3–21–17; 8:45 am] Notice of Proposed Issuance of Letter of Offer Pursuant to Section 36(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended BILLING CODE 5001–06–P Annex Item No. vii (vii) Sensitivity of Technology: 1.

The guidance system employs a SAL seeker.
